Baishali @ Baishali Hajra @ Hazra @ Anamika And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal

10.09.2025 Court No.28 Item No.47 ssi CRM (A) 2837 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Chakdah PS Case No.757 of 2025 dated 17.07.2025 under Sections 108/3 (5) of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Baishali @ Baisali Hajra @ Anamika & others. ....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Shibaji Kr. Das Ms. Deblina De ...for the petitioners Ms. Sreyashee Biswas Mr. Sarthak Mondal ...for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

The prosecution case is that the petitioner no.1 and her parents (the petitioner nos. 2 and 3) were trying to force the victim to get married to the petitioner no.1. This prompted the victim to commit suicide.

It will be for the Courts of law to finally decide whether there is an element of abatement of suicide.

However, considering the materials available in the case diary and the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

However, in the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall co-operate with investigation. The petitioner no.2 shall meet the I.O. as and when required.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
