Sandhya Sarkar v. State Of West Bengal

02.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No.6 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 1001 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Krishnaganj P.S. Case No.486 of 2025 dated 14.11.2025 under Sections 80/85/3(5) of the BNS.

And In the matter of: Sandhya Sarkar ....Petitioner.

Mr. Sumanta Das ....for the petitioner Ms. Sreyashee Biswas Mr. Tirthankar Dhali .. for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the mother-in-law of the alleged victim. The marriage between the couple took place three years ago. The husband, being the principal accused was arrested and was thereafter granted bail.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the post mortem report and other statements of witnesses.

Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the fact that one of the principal accused was arrested and was thereafter granted bail and the fact 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 and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
