The death of the victim\n\n             lady occurred in unnatural circumstances on 2nd May, 2021.The petitioner, who is the mother-in-law of the victim\n\n             was taken into custody on the basis of a complaint made by\n\n             one Subhadip Pal, the cousin of the victim. His statement\n\n             underSection 161Cr.P.C. has been recorded by the police.\n\n             There is no reflection therein of the direct involvement of the\n\n             petitioner in the death of the victim, prima facie.Mr. N. Ahmed, learned counsel for the prosecution\n\n             submits that the investigation is at a very preliminary stage.\n\n             Investigation is still going on and that at this stage the\n\n             petitioner should not be released on bail.2On the other hand, learned counsel for the petitioner\n\n submits that his client is a 70 years old lady with a serious\n\n medical condition caused by multiple ailments. She cannot\n\n walk properly.In those circumstances, we direct that under the\n\n supervision of the police, the petitioner shall have the option\n\n of being transferred to a private hospital of her choice and at\n\n her own cost, where she can be attended to for her medical\n\n condition as well as be interrogated by the police. The patient\n\n is to be kept under the observation of the police.List this application once again on 12th May, 2021,\n\n before the appropriate bench during the vacation to enable\n\n the Court to consider on the basis of further investigation\n\n made by the police, as to whether this application for bail\n\n should be allowed or rejected.( Subhasis Dasgupta, J. )                 ( I.
