In the matter of: Injamamul Hoque @ Rana

...Petitioner.

Mr. Krishan Ray Mr. Anamitra Banerjee Mr. Apan Saha Ms. Isita Kundu ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Soumya Raha ...for the State.

1. Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record.

2. It records that as the alleged victim was not staying at her permanent residence, intimation was given there but the victim could not be contacted.

3. No one appears on behalf of the de-facto complainant.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner and the de-facto complainant were in a relationship. They went to places together. This relationship was not accepted by the family of the victim. When the relationship turned sour, the FIR was lodged. There is a delay of about 53 days in lodging the FIR.

5. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He

submits that the trust of the alleged victim was breached and rape was committed after the two had gone to a lodge. He relies on the medical examination report, the statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate and the statements of other witnesses including the hotel register. As per the statement of the Manager of the lodge/hotel present at page 21 of the case diary, the two adults had checked into the lodge on 14/01/2026 and went away on the next day, but none of them made any complaints.

6. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from date. The petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court.

8. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

9. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
