No. 29 KAUSHIK Allowed C.R.M.(A) 674 of 2022 (through Video Conference) In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Haripal Police Station Case No. 122 of 2021 dated 29.05.2021 under Sections 498A/302/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. And In Re : Jayanti Bag ...... petitioner Mr. Arunava Ganguly Mr. Akash Chandra Thakur ....for the petitioner Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, learned Public Prosecutor. Mr. Aniket Mitra ....for the State Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that, the petitioner is the aunty of the deceased. He submits that, the husband and other in-laws of the deceased were granted bail by the Jurisdictional Court. The police filed charge-sheet and, therefore, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the contents in the case diary. Considering the fact that the police filed charge-sheet and considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein and considering the statement recorded under

Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and considering the fact that the husband and other co-accused were granted bail by the Jurisdictional Court, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that 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, 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 and on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional court on every date fixed and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Bibhas Ranjan De, J.)
