Rash Narayan Singh And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal

AD 19 April 11, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 1169 of 2025 Reject An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Asansol North P.S. Case No.34 of 2025 dated 23.01.2025 under Sections 85/316(2)/115(2)/117(2)/109/ 3(5) of the BNS and 3/4 DP Act.

And In the matter of: Rash Narayan Singh and others ... petitioners Mr. Apurba Kumar Datta ... for the petitioners.

Mr. Rana Mukherjee Mr. Arani Bhattacharyya ... for the State Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the father-in-law, the mother-inlaw and the brother-in-law of the victim. The husband was arrested and is on bail. The petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. A charge-sheet has been submitted. Learned counsel for the State relies on the case diary, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that as would appear from the statements of witnesses that the petitioners and the husband inflicted severe assault on the victim. She was found lying on the floor in bleeding condition. The injury report shows that two teeth were broken. The victim had to be admitted in hospital and treated medically.

In view of the seriousness of the allegations and the statements contained in the case diary, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory is, thus, rejected.
