Ayesha Khatun @ Ayesha Saddika v. State Of West Bengal
05.05.2026 Court No.28 Item No. 112 tbsr CRM (A) 873 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Rejinagar P.S. Case No.246 of 2025 dated 17.08.2025 under Sections 109/117(2)/118(2)/3(5)/329(4)/351(2)/351(3) of the BNS. And In the matter of: Ayesha Khatun @ Ayesha Saddika ....Petitioner.
Ms. Minoti Gomes Mr. J. I. Hossain ...for the petitioner.
Ms. Sonali Das Mr. Soumyadip Saha ....for the State.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. There was a scuffle between relatives. Injuries were suffered on both sides.
However, none was grievous in nature.
An application under Section 173(5) of the BNSS was filed more than a month after the alleged incident. The petitioner is a female member of the household. Charge sheet has been submitted. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She relies on the statement of the victim, the statements of other witnesses and the injury reports, one of which shows a fracture injury suffered by a victim on a finger. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the fact that the injury inflicted was not life threatening, that there were allegations and counter allegations between relatives and the fact that that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 condition that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court within four weeks from this date and pray for bail and shall regularly attend the jurisdictional Court and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.
The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
