13.01.2021 Court No.28 rpan / 110 C.R.M. 91 of 2021 (Via Video Conference) In Re : Supriya Chowdhury & Another ....Petitioners.

Mr. Amitabha Karmakar, Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ....for the Petitioners.

Mr. Sawata Gopal Mukherjee, Mr. Partha Partim Das, Ms. Manasi Roy ... for the State.

Apprehending arrest in connection with Chandrakona P. S. Case No. 39 of 2020 dated 04.02.2020 under Sections 419/494/406/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioners have filed the present application.

The learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that there was a matrimonial dispute pursuant to which the present case was initiated. Additionally, the learned advocate submits that the petitioner no.1 took her own belongings that is why the husband has alleged for criminal breach of trust.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that there are statements revealing that the petitioner no.1 and the petitioner no.2 are staying together.

We have perused the materials on record and taken into account the contention of the rival parties and on appreciation of the same, we are of the opinion that custodial detention of

the petitioners is not required for the sake of investigation. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest the petitioners, viz. Supriya Chowdhury and Amit Panja, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM 91 of 2021, is, thus, disposed of.
