20.06.2022 Serial no. 51 Aloke CRM (A) 2909 of 2022 In re : An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Daspur Police Station Case No. 197 of 2022 dated 17.05.2022 under Sections 498A/323/307/406/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act -AndIn the matter of : Sagar Manna ... ... Petitioner Ms. Sananda Bhattacharyya, Advocate ... ... For the Petitioner Mr. Goutam Wilson, Advocate ... ...For the State Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was falsely implicated. The de facto complainant is a psychiatric patient.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State draws the attention to the case diary. He submits that the incident took place within six months of the marriage.

In her statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the victim, she narrates the incident of torture. The police complaint was lodged within six months of the marriage.

In such circumstances, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner as the petitioner is the husband as is being implicated in offences inter alia under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, thus, rejected.

CRM (A) 2909 of 2022 is dismissed.
