And In the matter of: Sanjoy Halder & others.

....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Rajdeep Mazumder, Sr. Adv.

Mr. Pritam Roy Ms. Triparna Roy ...for the petitioners Mr. Jaydeep Biswas Mr. Akash Ganguly ..for the State Learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the husband, the parents-inlaw and the other relatives of the alleged victim. The marriage took place about twelve years ago. While the de facto complainant is a teacher, the petitioner is a station master. On a particular day, a scuffle took place between the two. Injury reports of the two parties would suggest that more serious injuries were inflicted on the husband and his mother. All and sundry at the in-law's house had been falsely implicated in this case.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate, the statements of witnesses and injury report. Charge sheet has been submitted. Considering the fact that there are allegations and counter allegations, the other materials available in the case diary and the

fact that charge sheet has already been submitted, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

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 conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
