- A n d - In the matter of : Namita Ghosh & Anr.

.... Petitioners.

Mr. Saryati Datta, Mr. Kaustav Das, ... For the Petitioners.

Mr. Suman De, Ms. M. Basak, ... For the State.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners are the mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the alleged victim. The principal accused, being the husband, was arrested and subsequently granted bail. The incident took place three years after the marriage.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the case diary and the statement of witnesses.

Considering the above, other materials available in the case diary and the fact that the principal accused, being the husband, was arrested and was subsequently granted bail, and also the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners, namely, Namita Ghosh and Sonamuni Ghosh @ Fuchee Ghosh @

Manisha Ghosh @ Sonamoni Ghosh 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 also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses and shall cooperate with the investigation. The petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall attend the jurisdiction court regularly.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. ( Jay Sengupta, J. )
