03.03.2022 Sl. No.2 akd [ALLOWED] C. R. M. 11598 of 2019 [via video conferencing] In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 03.12.2019 in connection with Burdwan Police Station Case No. 557 of 2019 dated 26.07.2019 under Sections 306/34 of the Indian Penal Code. (G.R. Case No.2960 of 2019) And In Re: Munni Singh @ Munni Mondal ... ... Petitioner Mr. Uday Sankar Chattopadhyay Mr. Suman Sankar Chattopadhyay Mr. Santanu Maji Ms. Snigdha Saha ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Binoy Panda Mr. Subham Bhakat ... ... for the State Pursuant to our earlier direction, Investigating Officer is personally present before this court. His presence is noted and dispensed with.

CFS laboratory report as well as the statement of the brother identifying the voice of the victim collected in course of investigation are placed on record along with the case diary.

We have considered the materials on record in the light of the evidence collected. It appears there is a prior matrimonial dispute between the parties. In the dying statement which was electronically uploaded on a social media platform, allegation is essentially against the relations of the petitioner. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner is not necessary and she may be granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely Munni Singh @ Munni Mondal, be

released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also 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 court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Bivas Pattanayak, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
