Ronju Sk @ Ranju Sekh v. State Of West Bengal

23.12.2025 Sl. No.57 NB CRM (A) 4134 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with GR Case No.2542 of 2025 arising out of Paikar P.S. Case No.541/2025 dated 16.10.2025 under Sections 329(4)/115(2)/117(2)110/351(2)/3/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In the matter of: Ronju Sk @ Ranju Sekh ... petitioner Mr. Safikul Islam, Mr. Masudur Rahaman Paik.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. S. S. Imam, Mr. Subham Bhakat.

...for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The present case is a fallout of a dispute between the husband and the wife. The petitioner happens to be the brother in law of the alleged victim. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, he relies on the injury report dated 17.11.2025 present at page 32 of the case diary where the history of injury is recorded as due to an accidental fall as stated by the victim. This is despite the fact that there are other statements of witnesses including the victim, which implicate the petitioner. 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.

Accordingly, 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 Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
