02.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No.50 ssi CRM (A) 682 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Barrackpore Women Police Station Case No.102 dated 20.12.2025 under Sections 108/3(5)/316(2)/351 (2)/85 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Buddhadeb Biswas & others.

.... Petitioners Mr. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Dr. Gourav Kr. Shaw Mr. Sandeep Prasad Shaw Mr. Sagar Saha Mr. Amon Kumar Singh Mr. Bishal Ghosh ...for the petitioners Mr. Bidyut Kumar Roy Ms. Snigdha Saha ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the brother, the mother and the wife of the brother of the alleged victim. It was actually because of a previous relationship of the wife of the victim, that the victim had committed suicide and, in order to save herself, the present false FIR has been lodged by the wife.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the case diary, the statements of witnesses and the other materials available in the case diary.

It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

However, considering the materials available in the case diary and the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each 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 petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner no.1 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
