This application for grant of anticipatory bail has been filed by the applicant, Sri Sahadev Ghosh in respect of Bodhjung Nagar Police Station Case No.38 of 2015 registered against the accused-applicant under Sections 447,325,354(B) and 379 read with Section 34 of IPC. The allegations made in the FIR are that on 15.09.2015 at about 10.30 p.m. the accused person along with others came into the house of the complainant Ratan Ghosh and started using filthy language against him. When he objected them to using such a language they entered into the house and assaulted him and pushed him down. As a result, one dog bit the complainant Ratan Ghosh.

His younger brother Swapan Ghosh and wife Soma Ghosh tried to save him but the accused, Sahadev Ghosh along with other co-accused, Sribash Ghosh assaulted his brother with a brick and he also torn the nighty of his wife. In this very complaint it is admitted that the wife of Sribash Ghosh and wife of Sahadeb Ghosh another co-accused also assaulted the wife of the complainant Ratan Ghosh. A woman assaulting another woman would not be an offence under Section 354(B) IPC. The accused herein has filed counter-complaint on the basis of which FIR has been registered against the complainants herein and this is a case of allegations and counter-allegations. It appears that some altercation has taken place between the two sides. Who is the aggressor is difficult to decide at this stage and this can be decided at the time of trial.

All the other co-accused were granted bail vide order dated 01.10.2015 passed in AB No.101 of 2015 and other analogous matters.

Therefore, it is ordered that in the event of his arrest, the applicant (Sri Sahadev Ghosh) shall be enlarged on bail on his furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer subject to the following terms and conditions:- (i) The applicant i.e. Sri Sahadev Ghosh shall appear before the Investigating Officer at 11.00 a.m. on Saturday (17.10.2015).
