11/09/2025 D/L 79 Ct. No.28 S.Kundu C.R.M.(A) 2923 of 2025 Partly 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 Tarapith Police Station case no. 117/2025 dated 31.7.2025 under Sections 85/115(2)/109/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Mahenneger @ Mehennegar Bibi & Anr.

... Petitioners Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. Skider ...for the petitioners.

Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharyya Mr. Amarul Islam ...for the State.

1. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

2. Perused the case diary.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are the mother-in-law and the husband of the alleged victim/de-facto complainant. The marriage took place five years ago. The petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case.

4. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the medical report that shows assault was committed by the husband and also on statements of neighbours.

5. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary while I am inclined to grant anticipatory

bail to the petitioner no. 1, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no. 2 is rejected.

6. In the event of arrest, the petitioner no. 1 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 said petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

7. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed-in-part.

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