3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner was arrested on 28.08.2026. The petitioner is the mother of a co-accused, where allegations have been raised that the son of the petitioner was in a relationship with the deceased victim, who had ended her life. The counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the further custodial interrogation of the petitioner would not be required and she has also submitted that her son has been granted the privilege of interim pre-arrest bail to appear for his examination.
4. Learned APP has submitted that the case diary is awaited. He has submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are grave and since they relate to the abetment of suicide, the petitioner may not be granted the privilege of the bail.
5. I have considered the submission made and gone through the materials available in the bail petition and also noted that the petitioner is a lady of 46 years and is in custody since 28.08.2026.
6. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered opinion that further custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be required at this stage.
7. Accordingly, it is provided that the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Kamrup (M), who shall also be at liberty to impose such other conditions as may be deemed necessary to ensure the continued participation of the petitioner in the investigation of this case.
