Krishnagopal Biswas And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

18.05.2026 Court No.28 Item No.10 ssi CRM (A) 1030 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Ranaghat Police Station Case No. 272 of 2025 dated 10.05.2025 under Sections 107/3(5) of BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Krishnagopal Biswas & another. .... Petitioners Ms. Minoti Gomes ...for the petitioners Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharya Mr. Pritam Roy ..Amicus Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the parents of the principal accused. It is alleged in the FIR that there was a relationship between the minor boy/victim and the minor girl/principal accused. The girl allegedly used to demand expensive gifts and the two thereafter broke off their relationship. After about six months, the boy committed suicide. The petitioners are only the parents of the girl who purportedly had an affair with the victim boy.

Learned Amicus assisting the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the post-mortem report and the statements of witnesses.

It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

However, considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the

petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each 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 conditions that the petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner no.1 shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
