Dhabali Ghosh @ Lakshmi Ghosh v. State Of West Bengal

10.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No. 20 tbsr Reject CRM (A) 3806 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Hili P.S. Case No. 149 of 2025 dated 22.07.2025 under Sections 85/103/3(5)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. And In the matter of: Dhabali Ghosh @ Lakshmi Ghosh ....Petitioner.

Mr. Biswajit Manna ....for the petitioner Mr. Arijit Ganguly Mr. Asraf Mondal ....for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The incident happened after about seven years of marriage. The principal accused, being the husband, is in custody. The only allegation against the present petitioner who is the mother-in-law is that he along with some others was there at the time of incident happened.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the case diary and refers to the post mortem report and the statements of witnesses including a neighbour and a child of the victim. It is the prosecution case that the petitioner and others used to torture the victim and on the fateful date in the presence of the petitioner and some other co-accused, the husband brutally assaulted the victim and killed her.

Considering the above and the other incriminating materials available in the case diary, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
