AD 29 November 24, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 3482 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Rabindra Sarobar Police Station Case No.30 of 2025 dated 06.03.2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/308(4)/305 of the BNS, 2023.

And In the matter of:

Anuradha Raman ... petitioner Ms. Jhuma Sen Mr. Sumanta Ganguli Ms. Aasthita Dutta Majumder Ms. Swastika Chatterjee Mr. Saikat Pal ... for the petitioner Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Mr. Atanu Ghosh ... for the State Mr. Somopriyo Chowdhury Mr. Sayak Chakraborty Mr. Wrick Brata Roy Mr. Iswar Das Mr. Nistar Molla Mr. S. Chatterjee Mr. Farhan Haider Mr. Vincent Protim Baidya ... for the de facto complainant Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the fact that there are allegations and counter allegations between the parties and the petitioner had filed a prior proceeding under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, who is the daughter-in-law of the de facto complainant.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation 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.
