Datta Mandal v. State Of West Bengal

17/11/2025 D/L - 55 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 3556 of 2025 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Mothabari P.S. case no. 627 of 2025 dated 26.7.2025 under Sections 108/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Datta Mandal

...Petitioner.

Mr. Arup Kr. Bhowmick ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Saibal Bapuli Ms. Nahid Ahmed ...for the State.

1. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

2. Perused the case diary.

3. It will be for the Court to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

4. However, considering the materials available in the case diary and the alleged role ascribed to the 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.

5. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall

cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

6. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

7. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
