Case No.454 of 2025 dated 13.10.2025 under Sections 74/85/109/3(5)/316(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 4 of D.P. Act.
And In the matter of: Sourav Chakrabortty & Ors.
....Petitioners.
Mr. Tanmay Chowdhury Ms. Sulagna Sarkar ...for the petitioners Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddiqui ....for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the husband and the other in-laws of the alleged victim. All and sundry in the husband's house have been falsely implicated in this case. The marriage took place two years ago. Although the de facto complainant left the matrimonial home in November, 2024, the FIR was lodged in October, 2025. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on statements of witnesses and medical prescription of a doctor.
Considering the materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and 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/- 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 further condition that the petitioners shall cooperate with investigation, shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and the petitioner nos. 1, 3, 6 and 7 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.
The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
