08.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.70 ssi CRM (A) 3930 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Charu Market PS Case No.42 of 2025 dated 01.04.2025 under Sections 85/316(2)/351(2)/308(2)/3(5) of the BNS 2023 and Sections 3 and 4 of the DP Act.

And In the matter of: Homan Kaur @ Homan.

....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Sourav Mondal Mr. Arijit Bhuiya Mr. Rony Mondal Ms. Sudeshna Mukherjee ...for the petitioner Mr. Prasun Kumar Dutta, Ld APP Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddiqui ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the married sister in law of the alleged victim. She stays separately. She has a small child to take care of. Earlier, the mother in law was granted anticipatory bail by this Court on 04.11.2025 in CRM (A) 2392 of 2025.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, he submits that the mother in law was granted anticipatory bail in this case earlier. Considering the above, the materials available in the case diary, the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner and the fact that a similarly circumstanced co-accused was granted anticipatory bail earlier, 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.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall cooperate with the investigation. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
