Xxxx And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal And ANR
AD 27 November 19, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 3256 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Duttapukur Police Station Case No.288 of 2025 dated 01.05.2025 under Section 85/117(2) of the BNS and Section 10 of the POCSO Act and Section 75 of the J.J. Act. And In the matter of:
XXX and others ... petitioners Ms. Anita Kaunda Ms. A. Dutta ... for the petitioners Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharyya Ms. Mousumi Sarkar ... for the State Ms. Manasi Roy ... for the de facto complainant Heard learned counsels for the parties.
Perused the case diary.
It appears that the prima allegations are against the husband of the de facto complainant, who is in custody. A charge-sheet has been submitted.
Considering the materials available in the case diary, including the injury report, the statements of the victim and other witnesses, the fact that the principal accused being the husband of the de facto complainant is in custody, that charge-sheet has been submitted, the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioners and that similarly circumstanced co-
accused was granted anticipatory bail, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 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 the further conditions that the petitioners shall surrender before the jurisdictional court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date, shall attend the jurisdictional court regularly and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
