Case No.523 of 2024 dated 22.09.2024 under Sections 329 (4)/115(2)/118(1)/109/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In the matter of: Shankar Mandal @ Sankar Mandal & another. ....Applicants/Petitioners.

Md. Wasim Akram ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddiqui ...for the State Ms. Reshmi Khatun ...for the de facto complainant Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that there was a scuffle between family members, which led to injuries on both sides. The de facto complainant is the sister in law of the petitioner no.1 and the petitioner no.2 is the wife of the petitioner no.1. The disputes have now been amicably settled. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the de facto complainant submits that the misunderstandings between the private parties have been resolved and the matter has been settled between them. Learned counsel for the State refers to the injury report is available in the case diary. It does not appear that the injury inflicted was grievous in nature.

In view of the materials available in the case diary and the subsequent developments, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

In view thereof, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. 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 not try to influence the witnesses or threaten them.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
