28.03.2024 Item No.22 Ct. No. 29 CHC Rejected C.R.M.(A) 942 of 2024 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Matia Police Station Case No. 442 of 2023 dated 14.10.2023 under Sections 498A/328/307/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of : Tarikul Mondal ...... petitioner Mr. Shamik Bagchi ....for the petitioner Mr. Rana Mukherjee, Ld. A.P.P.

Mr. Arif Ekbal Molla ....for the State Affidavit-of-service filed in Court be taken on record. None appears for the de facto complainant despite service.

Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that, the mother-in-law was granted bail by the jurisdictional Court.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the Case Dairy. He submits that, the police complaint was lodged within six months of marriage. Taking advantage of the absence of the husband of the victim, corrosive poison was poured into the month of the victim. The medical documents corroborate such fact. He also draws the attention of the Court to the statement Signed By :

CHINMOY CHAKRABORTY High Court of Calcutta 28 th of March 2024 02:20:04 PM

of the victim recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Statement of the victim recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code implicates the petitioner before us. Medical documents and materials in the Case Diary corroborate corrosive poisoning.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. CRM(A) 942 of 2024 is disposed of.
