Purnima Biswas v. State Of West Bengal

21/08/2025 D/L 38 Ct. No.28 S.Kundu C.R.M.(A) 2351 of 2025 Allowed In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In connection with Chakdaha police station case no. 631 of 2025 dated 16.6.2025 under sections 85/80/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Purnima Biswas ... Petitioner Ms. Minoti Gomes ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Md. Adil Badr Mr. Asraf Mandal ...for the State.

1. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

2. Perused the case diary and the further statements of neighbours of the accused recorded before the learned Magistrate.

3. Considering the materials available in the case diary, the fact that the principal accused being the husband of the victim is in custody and the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner, 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.

4. 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

cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

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

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