Mansina Khatun @ Mansura Bibi v. State Of West Bengal

10.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.73 ssi CRM (A) 327 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Santipur Police Station Case No.399 of 2025 dated 06.04.2025 under Section 108 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Mansina Khatun @ Munsura Bibi .... Petitioner.

Mr. Sumanta Das ...for the petitioner Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Mrs. Rituparna Saha ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the alleged paramour of the victim deceased who was a married man. The petitioner herself has a four year old daughter to take care of.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of the witnesses including the wife of the victim and the post mortem report. It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

However, considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and 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 co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

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