Sk Akter Hossen v. State Of West Bengal

19.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.27 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 3945 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Khejuri P.S. case No.0591 of 2025 dated 01.11.2025 under Sections 137(2)/140(3) of the BNS.

And In the matter of: Sk. Akter Hossen ....Petitioner.

Md. Shamimuddin Ms. Sana Parveen Mr. Mainul Akhand ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Ms. Suruchi Saha ....for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary and the report.

The report contains the statements of the 21 year old survivor recorded before the learned Magistrate. According to the said statements, the alleged survivor had willingly left her house, got married and is now living happily at her matrimonial home. Considering the above and the other 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.

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 condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with investigation, shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. 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. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
