30.07.2025 SL.31 Ct.No.28 NB CRM (A) 2334 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Berhampore P.S. Case No.234 of 2025 dated 02.02.2025 under Sections 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 pending before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Murshidabad at Berhampore. And In the matter of : Parbati Mal @ Parbati Prodhan Mal .

...petitioner Mr. Ali Ahsan Alamgir, Ms. Soma Mal, Ms. Rabia Khatoon, Ms. June Modak.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Madhusudan Sur, Ms. Sudeshna Das.

...for the State.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary including the statement of the victim recorded before a learned Magistrate, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,

corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses, whatsoever.

The application for anticipatory bail being CRM (A) 2334 of 2025 is, thus, allowed.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
