12.06.2025 Ct. No. 34 b.das Allowed C.R.M. (A) 1765 of 2025 In Re : An application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Tehatta Police Station Case No. 346 of 2025 dated 08.05.2025 under Sections 137(2)/140(3)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita adding Section 6 of POCSO Act.
And In Re :
Sujata Barikdar @ Sujata Barikdar Roy and Anr. Mr. Amanul Islam Mr. Sourav Mukherjee ... for the Petitioners. Ms. Sayanti Santra Ms. Poulami Bose ... for the State.
Mr. Asraf Mandal Mr. Tanbir Mandal ... for the de facto complainant.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are the parents of the principal accused and has no role in the alleged incident.
Learned counsels for the State and the de facto complainant oppose the prayer.
I have perused the material on record. Besides the fact that the principal accused forcibly married the victim in presence of the petitioners as stated by the victim in her statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, no further role of the petitioners is prima facie found in the investigation held so far.
Accordingly in the event of arrest, the petitioners namely Sujata Barikdar @ Sujata Barikdar Roy and Kishor Barikdar be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of
Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. The petitioners shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within two weeks from date.
The application for anticipatory bail is thus disposed of.
Case diary be returned.
All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
