Gobinda Das And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal

10.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.44 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 3951 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Beliaghata P.S. Case No. 154 dated 20.10.2025 under Sections 85/316(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita read with Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.

And In the matter of: Gobinda Das & Ors.

Mr. Manik Lal Poddar ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Anupam Das Adhikari Mr. Sachit Talukdar ....for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners are the husband and the other in-laws of the alleged victim. The marriage between the couple took place in 2012. There are two children. The alleged victim took away the younger daughter with her while leaving the matrimonial home. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses and the injury report which shows, among other things, tenderness and swelling.

Considering the above and the materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant to anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

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 condition that the petitioners shall cooperate with investigation, shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and the petitioner no. 1 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
