Lalu Das v. State Of West Bengal

01/12/2025 M/L - 112 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 3837 of 2025 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Khanakul P.S case no. 567 of 2025 dated 13/8/2025 under section 108 of the BNS.

In the matter of: Lalu Das

...Petitioner.

Mr. N. S. Ghosh Ms. Laboni Sikder Mr. S. Dey ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Anupam Das Adhikari Mr. Saptarshi Chakraborty ...for the State.

1. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

2. Perused the case diary.

3. It is the petitioner's case that as per the FIR as the petitioner filed an eviction suit against the alleged victim, he consumed poison and committed suicide.

4. It will for the Court to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

5. However, considering the materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.

7. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

8. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
