NB/sws.m (Allow).

C.R.M. (A) 4916 of 2022 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Howrah P. S. Case No.324 of 2022 dated 06.07.2022 under Sections 498A/376/406 of the Indian Penal Code.

In the matter of : Ishteaque Ahmed ... Petitioner.

Mr. M. Chatterjee, Md. G. N. Imrohi, Mr. Debapriya Majumder.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr Joydeep Roy, Mr. Amanul Islam.

.....for the State.

Heard learned lawyers appearing for the parties. Petitioner is the husband of the victim/housewife. Principal allegation is against the brother in law of the housewife who is in custody.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Keeping in mind the general and omnibus nature of allegations against the petitioner/husband, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him.

Accordingly, we direct that 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, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further

condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Supratim Bhattacharya, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
