Najma Khatoon @ Sapna v. State Of West Bengal

04.02.2026 Ct. No. 28 Sl. No.69 SG C. R. M. (A) 194 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Islampur Police Station Case No.456 of 2025 dated 10.05.2025 under Sections 329(3)/118(1)/109/351(3)/3(5) of the BNSS.

And In Re: Najma Khatoon @ Sapna.

... ... Petitioner Mr. Amit Roy, Mr. Anish Tiwari.

... ... for the petitioner Mr. Kaushik Kundu Ms. Sana Naaz.

... ... for the State 1.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner is the daughter of the principal accused in this case. The other co-accused have been granted bail.

2.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses as well as the injury report.

3.

Considering the above, and the fact that the petitioner is not the principal accused in this case, that she is a female member of the household and the fact that the charge sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court within

four weeks from this date and pray for bail and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

5.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. 6.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
