Bharat Chandra Saha And ORS v. State Of West Bengal

13.12.2021 Serial no. 52 Dd (Through Video Conference) CRM 4383 of 2021 In re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Murutia Police Station Case No. 225 of 2020 dated 18.09.2020 under Sections 498A/302/120B of the Indian Penal Code and charge sheet submitted under section 498A/306/120B of the Indian Penal Code.

In the matter of : Bharat Chandra Saha & Ors. ... ...Petitioners Mr. Asraf Mandal, Advocate ... ... For the Petitioners Mr. S. G. Mukherjee, Ms. Faria Hossain, Ms. Sonali Das, Advocates ... ...For the State Petitioners renew their prayer for anticipatory bail. Petitioners submit that other co-accused persons are granted pre-arrest bail.

We have considered the materials on record. There are sufficient materials implicating the petitioners in the torture of the housewife who was forced to commit suicide. Petitioners are absconding since the rejection of their prayer for pre-arrest bail. Hence, we do not find any ground to renew the earlier rejection of pre-arrest bail of the petitioners.

This application for anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected.
