Netai Das v. State Of West Bengal

05.05.2025 Court No.28 Item No.31 ssi CRM (A) 1428 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Ghola PS Case No.114 of 2025 dated 15.03.2025 under Sections 108 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Sri Netai Das ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Ms. Mousumi Bhowal Mr. Aman Gupta Mr. Ishan Bhattacharya ...for the petitioner Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Mr. S. Kundu ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that as alleged by the husband of the victim, the petitioner who was the paramour of the victim might have abetted the victim's death. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer and submits as follows. The death took place in the matrimonial house of the victim. It was caused by poisoning. Considering the nature of allegations and the materials contained in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail to the petitioner is allowed.

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 conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer as and when required.

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