(AD) 09.03.2022 Court No.29 (Allowed) C.R.M. (A) 1151 of 2022 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Tehatta P.S. Case No.130 of 2022 dated 23/02/2022 under Sections 448/376/506 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Samiruddin Sk.

....petitioner.

Mr. Asraf Mandal ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Imran Ali Ms. Manisha Sharma ...for the State.

Mr. Amanul Islam Mr. Sourav Mukherjee ... for the de facto complainant.

Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the present police complaint is a counter-blast to the allegations of forgery and cheating lodged by the petitioner against the husband of the de facto complainant. Learned Advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The de facto complainant is represented.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein and considering the fact that the present police case being a counter-blast to the earlier police complaint lodged by the petitioner against the husband of the de facto complainant for forgery and cheating cannot be discounted, 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/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a month till the conclusion of the investigation and that the petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. C.R.M. (A) 1151 of 2022 is disposed of.
