Mr. Debarshi Brahma Mr. Samrat Choudhury Mr. Anit Dey ...For the Petitioners Mr. Tanmoy Kr. Ghosh Mr. Arindam Sen ...For the State.

Two (2) persons are before this Court seeking anticipatory bail. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the principal accused was granted bail on June 22, 2021. The police submitted charge sheet in the case before the jurisdictional Court.

Learned Advocate for the State submits that the name of the petitioner transpires from the statements recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Considering the fact that the husband was granted bail and the fact that police completed investigation and submitted charge sheet, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of `10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and the petitioner shall appear before the Court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The application for anticipatory bail being CRM 3816 of 2021 is, thus, disposed of.
