C.R.M. 3024 of 2020 With CRAN 2 of 2021 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Nabadwip P. S. Case No.118 of 2020 dated 04.04.2020 under Sections 498A/306/34 of the Indian Penal Code. In the matter of : Lakshmirani Saha.

... Petitioner.

Mr. Dhananjay Banerjee.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Neguive Ahmed, ld. A.P.P., Ms. Amita Gaur.

.....for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is the mother-in-law of the victim lady. Incident occurred 24 years after marriage. No statutory presumptions under Section 113A and 113B of the Evidence Act are attracted in the facts of the present case. No adverse report with regard to the conduct of the petitioner during the pendency of this application is placed before us.

Under such circumstances, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner..

Accordingly, we direct that 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, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the

conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.

The application being CRAN 2 of 2021 is also disposed of.
