Heard learned Advocates for both the parties. 2.

We have considered the materials on record. Though victim is mentally challenged, petitioner is not the principal accused. Principal accused is in custody. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the crime, we are of the opinion her custodial interrogation is not necessary and she may be granted anticipatory bail. 3.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely, Tuyera Bibi, 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 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
