Afroja Bibi v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

jdt. 15.12.2025 jb.

WPA 14464 of 2023 (Afroja Bibi vs. State of West Bengal & Ors.) Mr. Goutam Malik Mr. Tarak Nath Sarkar .... For the Petitioner Sk. Galib Mr. Gourav Das .... For the State Report submitted by the State is taken on record. Though the petitioner has alleged that she was driven out of her residential house by the private respondents and has not been able to return thereto till date, she has stated before the police that she has been residing in the said house with her family for last two years peacefully. It appears that there are cases and counter cases between the parties.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no instruction that the declaration given by the petitioner was not voluntary.

In view of the above, this Court is inclined to hold that since the petitioner is residing in her house peacefully, the police authority should keep vigil over the area so that she is able to reside therein peacefully and is neither threatened, nor driven out of the house without due course of law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Since no affidavit has been invited, allegations contained in the writ petition shall be deemed not to have been admitted.

Urgent certified website copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties on compliance of requisite formalities.
