02.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.35 ssi CRM (A) 3763 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Hogolberia PS Case No.235 of 2025 dated 31.07.2025 under Sections 108/3(5) of the BNS, 2023.

And In the matter of: Tinku Mondal & others.

....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Mr. Abdul Aziz Mondal ...for the petitioners Mr. Anupam Das Adhikary Ms. Debjani Sahu ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the husband, the son and other relatives of the alleged victim. The case was lodged by a daughter of the alleged victim only for obtaining property of the deceased victim. The marriage took place between the couple about 15 years ago. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the case diary including the statements of neighbours. It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

However, considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, 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. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

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 conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
