ACJM, Lalbagh, Murshidabad.

And In the matter of : Sanam Sk.

...... petitioner Ms. Minoti Gomes, Mr. Jisan Iqbal Hossain ....for the petitioner Mr. Shekhar Barman ....for the State Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.

Apparently, the victim committed suicide by consumption of acid. The victim also recorded her statement which is claimed to be a dying declaration.

As to whether, the petitioner abetted in the commission of the suicide may be decided at the trial.

Materials in the Case Diary do not suggest requirement of placing the petitioner, at this stage, in custody for interrogation. In such circumstances, we 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/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section Signed By :

CHINMOY CHAKRABORTY High Court of Calcutta 19 th of March 2024 05:55:00 PM

438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner will report before the Investigating Officer once in a week till the conclusion of investigation and on condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. CRM(A) 947 of 2024 is disposed of.
