19.09.2025 Court No.28 Item No.40 ssi CRM (A) 3047 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Manikchak PS Case No.178 of 2025 dated 12.03.2025 under Sections 85/64(1)/62/118(2)/109 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: AAA ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Kalidas Saha Ms. Khushi Mollick ...for the petitioner Md. Wasim Akram ...for the de facto Mr. Saumick Ganguli Ms. Chandreyi Dutta ...for the State Leave is granted to correct the cause title.

Heard the learned counsels for the petitioner, the de facto complainant and the State.

It appears that after the marriage between the petitioner and the de facto complainant in 2022, there had been proceedings instituted by the adverse parties. According to the petitioner, the mother in law was granted bail and the brother in law and sister in law were granted anticipatory bail, although there was an allegation of attempt to rape made against the said brother in law. Considering the materials available in the case diary and the counter proceedings pending between the adverse parties, 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 petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
