In connection with Malipanchghora P.S case no. 260 of 2025 dated 18/9/2025 under Sections 318(4)/316(2)/61(2)/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Mrs. Rumki Roy @ Mrs. Rumki Roy (Das)

...Petitioner.

Mr. Santanu Talukder Mr. Priyankar Ganguly Ms. Shalini Bairagi Ms. Pipasa Chakraborty ...for the petitioner.

Ms. Subhasree patel Ms. Jonaki Saha ...for the State.

1. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the wife of the principal accused who had passed away before the registration of the present FIR. It is alleged that during the business transaction, substantial amounts fell due, in respect of which the accused had issued cheques that were bounced.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, she submits that there is no instructions as to whether proceeding under the N.I. Act had been initiated on the basis of the dishonoured cheques.

3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that the allegation also have

a civil profile, 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.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
