17.09.2025 Court No.28 Item No.58 ssi CRM (A) 2997 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Kalyani PS Case No.637 of dated 26.06.2025 under Sections 127(2)/123/118(2)/109/351 (3)/3 (5) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Gitali Dasgupta ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Shibaji Kumar Das Mr. Dipendu Sarkar Mr. Aniket Kanrar ...for the petitioner Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Ms. Chandreyi Dutta ...for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

It is the prosecution case that the alleged victim had to consume phenyl due to pressure applied by creditors. In the statement made before the learned Magistrate, the name of another lender has been taken.

Considering the materials available in the case diary 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. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

However, in the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses and shall co-operate with investigation. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
