02/04/2026 D/L - 70 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 702 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Kumarganj P.S case no. 01 of 2026 dated 01/01/2026 under sections 85/115(2)/109/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Dinabandhu Basak

...Petitioner.

Mr. Kaushik Chowdhury Mr. Dwaipayan Panda Mr. Tridiv Das ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Prasun kr. Dutta Mr. Subhajit Chowdhury ...for the State.

1. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the husband of the alleged victim. The marriage between the two took place in the year 2013.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses including that of the victim. He also refers to the injury report which, however, does not show any external injury.

3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O once a week till submission of report in final form.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
