17.09.2025 Court No.28 Item No.57 ssi CRM (A) 2996 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Dhubulia PS Case No.167 of 2025 dated 29.04.2025 under Sections 126 (2)/118 (2)/109/303(2)/3 (5) of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Tania Ghosh Biswas & others. ....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. A. Ghosh Mr. Chandan Mondal ...for the petitioners Ms. Sonali Das Ms. Afreen Begum ...for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

It is the prosecution case that the present petitioners and the son of the alleged victim confined her in a room and put fire on her body. She suffered burn injuries over different parts of a body. The son of the victim was arrested and was granted bail. Charge sheet has been submitted. It is urged on behalf of the petitioners that the petitioner no.1 is in the family way and as such, should not be arrested. Considering the serious nature of allegations and the incriminating materials available in the case diary, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner no.2 (Bani Acharia Biswas @ Bani Biswas). However, in view of the fact that the petitioner no.1 is in the family way, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to her (the petitioner no.1).

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

However, in the event of arrest, the petitioner no.1 (Tania Ghosh Biswas) 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 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 petitioner no.1 shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

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