And In the matter of : Champa Gupta ...... petitioner Mr. Mukteswar Maity, Advocate Mr. Prabir Bej, Advocate Mr. Santi Ranjan Hazra, Advocate Mr. Manika Sarkar, Advocate ....for the petitioner Ms. Zareen N Khan, Ld. A.P.P.

Mr. Thirtankar Dhali, Advocate ....for the State

1. Heard the submission of both the learned advocates.

2. Perused the case diary.

3. On careful perusal of the material available in the case diary as well as the statement under Section 180 of BNSS as also the suicidal note, which is found at page 58 of the case diary, prima facie, this Court finds no such incriminating material against the present petitioner for which custodial interrogation is necessary.

4. Accordingly, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail subject to fulfillment of certain conditions other than

compliance of the conditions laid down in Section 482(2) BNSS.

5. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS and on further condition that the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the local police station without leave of the learned Court, and not to threaten the de facto complainant or try to tamper with the evidence and in case of violation of any of such provision the prosecution will be at liberty to pray for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

6. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of as allowed.
