04.03.2025 sdas Partly Allowed C.R.M. (A) No. 753 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Sagarpara Police Station Case No. 209 of 2024 dated 04.06.2024 under Sections 498A/304B/306/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Jorina Bibi & Ors. ....... petitioners Mr. Jisan Iqubal Hossain .....for the petitioners Mr. Suman De Mr. Subhasish Datta ....for the State 1.

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits petitioner no. 4, Sohel Rana has not been cited as an accused in the charge-sheet.

2.

Accordingly, we are of the opinion there is no apprehension of the arrest and the application preferred by him is disposed of as not pressed.

3.

It is submitted petitioners no. 1, 2 and 3 are the in-laws of the victim lady. They have been falsely implicated. They pray for anticipatory bail.

4.

Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

5.

We have considered the statement of the mother of the deceased. She states victim lady was subjected to torture. When she became pregnant her husband disowned paternity of

the unborn child. On the day prior to the incident there was an altercation between the husband and the deceased. Husband of the deceased has been granted regular bail. Keeping in mind these facts and extent of complicity of the petitioners in the crime we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to them.

6. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners no. 1) Jorina Bibi 2) Hayder Sk. and 3) Bajalur Rahaman Sk. shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, 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 and on condition that they shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date.

7. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed in so far as petitioners no. 1, 2 and 3 are concerned. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
