2. SUJAY GHOSH ......Petitioners For the Petitioners :

Mr. Saryati Datta Mr. Sanjib Kr. Dan Mr. Chitrak Biswas .....Advocates For the State :

Mrs. Manisha Sharma Mr. Md. Kutubuddin .....Advocates Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioner no.1 is the uncle-in-law of the victim deceased and the petitioner no.2 is the son of the petitioner no.1. The petitioners stay elsewhere than the couple in question. The mother-in-law, the husband and the aunt-inlaw were granted bail after some days of custody. The marriage had taken place in the year 2018 and the incident took place in 2024. Chargesheet has already been submitted.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the statements of witnesses including neighbours and the statements recorded before the learned Magistrate as well as the post-mortem report.

Considering the materials available in the case diary including the statements of the neighbours, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail being CRM(A) 1286 of 2025 is rejected.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
