09.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.32 ssi CRM (A) 3772 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Panrui PS Case No.150 of 2025 dated 05.08.2025 under Sections 108 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Abdul Karim & others.

....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Sujoy Sarkar Ms. Sneha Srivastava ...for the petitioners Mr. Debasish Roy, Ld. PP Md. Adil Badr Ms. Puja Goswami ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the parents in law and the wife of the alleged victim. The victim committed suicide at the house of the petitioners. This happened after about 12 years of marriage between the couple.

Learned Public Prosecutor representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the case diary including the post mortem report and the statements of witnesses. It appears that a charge sheet has already been submitted. Considering the materials available in the case diary, the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, 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 and shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. The presence of the Investigating Officer is noted and is dispensed with.
