1. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Machhakund PS Case No.133 of 2023 corresponding to CT Case No.31 of 2024 pending in the file of learned Additional Sessions Judge-Cum-Special Judge, Koraput, for commission of offences punishable U/S.302 of IPC, on the main allegation of committing murder of the deceased Rahul Hantal.
2. Heard, Mr. Manoranjan Padhy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. T.K. Acharya, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record.
3. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears allegation against the petitioner and her husband for committing murder of the deceased Rahul Hantal, but the present petitioner is a lady and she is stated to be in the jail with her kid. Further, it is found from the statement of Rambabu Khemudi that the petitioner is having two minor children. Further, no material is being produced before this Court to suggest that the petitioner would abscond or pose threat to the witnesses, if released on bail. Besides, there is a presumption of innocence of the accused in a criminal trial. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances and considering the pre-trial detention of the petitioner in custody for more than two and half years with examination of material witnesses in the meantime and lastly, applying the first proviso appended to Section 480 of BNSS, this Court without expressing any view on merits admits the petitioner to bail.
4. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-five Thousand) only with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it.
5. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e- mail for reference.
