Holding
The Court held that the petitioner is entitled to bail as there is no specific allegation against her and she has a clean antecedent.
Summary
The petitioner, Shairun Nisha, mother‑in‑law of a deceased woman, sought bail fearing arrest in a case registered under sections 80 and 85 of the Bihar Negotiable Substances Act (BNS). The prosecution alleged that the deceased was married to Naushad Alam and was subsequently tortured and killed by the petitioner and other accused. The petitioner contended that she had no involvement, was a separate owner of property, and that the primary accusation was against the husband, who had already been released on bail. The State opposed the bail application. The Court, after considering the lack of specific allegations against the petitioner and her clean antecedents, ordered bail on a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to conditions under section 482(2) of the BNSS 2023. The bail order was conditioned on surrender within eight weeks.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner, a mother‑in‑law, is liable to be arrested under sections 80 and 85 of BNS.
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner in view of the allegations and her clean antecedents.
