... ... Petitioners Mr. Arnab Chatterjee, Ms. Poulami Bose, Mr. Abhinaba Mukherjee.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Allegations are general and omnibus. Incident occurred ten years after marriage and statutory presumptions under Sections 117 and 118 of BSA are not attracted.

3.

Hence, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1) Madhusudan Patra @ Madhu Patra and 2) Nabami Patra be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. They Signed By : ALOK SETH High Court of Calcutta 12 th of December 2024 04:29:01 PM

shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

5.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : ALOK SETH High Court of Calcutta 12 th of December 2024 04:29:01 PM
