12.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.55 ssi CRM (A) 3988 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Bankura Police Station Case No.209 of 2025 dated 15.07.2025 under Sections 85/80 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Tumpa Gorai ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Koustav Bagchi Mr. Debayan Ghosh Ms. Priti Kar ...for the petitioner Mr. Prasun Kr. Dutta Mr. Mujibar Ali Naskar ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The marriage between the couple in question took place about five years ago. The principal accused, being the husband, and the mother in law of the victim were granted bail after arrest. The present petitioner, is the sister in law, who is the mother of an infant and a child. Charge sheet has been submitted. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statement of the witnesses.

Considering the materials available in the case diary, the fact that the principal accused, being the husband, and the mother in law were granted anticipatory bail after arrest, the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner, the fact that charge sheet has been submitted and the further fact that the petitioner is the mother of an infant and a child, 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 surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
