Adori Bibi @ Adori Khatun v. State Of West Bengal

10.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.48 ssi CRM (A) 302 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Harishchandrapur Police Station Case No.984 of 2025 dated 11.09.2025 under Sections 123/103(1)/3(5) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Adori Bibi @ Adori Khatun.

.... Petitioner.

Mr. A. Islam Mr. G. Roy ...for the petitioner Ms. Sreyashee Biswas Ms. Sreetama Das ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the sister-in-law of the victim deceased. Few days ago, the victim's daughter had committed suicide. The principal accused in this case being the wife of the deceased was granted bail by this Court after a few days of custody. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She relies on the statements of the de facto complainant, the statements of other witnesses and the postmortem report. Although the de facto complainant had alleged that the wife of the victim and the present petitioner had tortured the victim man and forcibly poured poison into his mouth, the post mortem report does not show any external injury.

The neighbours referred to a dispute between the principal accused that is the wife of the victim and the victim.

Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that one of the principal accused was arrested and was thereafter granted bail and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

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 and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly. The petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

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