For the Petitioner Mr. Debabrata Chatterjee, Advocate Ms. Debjani Dasgupta, Advocate ... ...For the State Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

The husband was granted bail by the jurisdictional Court. The proclamation order issued as against the petitioner was set aside by this Hon'ble Court. The police filed charge-sheet. In such circumstances, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of like amount each, 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 and on condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. CRM (A) 4532 of 2022 is disposed of.
