And In the matter of: Manik Midya @ Riajul @ Riyajul Ali Midya and others.

.... Petitioners.

Mr. Mritunjay Chatterjee Mrs. Suchismita Chakraborty ...for the petitioners Mr. Prasun Kumar Dutta Ms. Debolina Das ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are not the principal accused in this case. The principal accused being the husband and the mother in law were arrested earlier and were granted bail. The petitioners happened to be the brothers in law and the wife of one of them. Learned counsel for the State strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She relies on the post-mortem report and the statements of witnesses. She submits that the petitioners also stayed at the same place.

It appears that there are neighbours' statements that implicate the petitioners.

Moreover, although the FIR was started on 04.05.2021, charge sheet was submitted in 2021 and supplementary charge sheet was

submitted in 2022, till date the petitioners did not submit to the jurisdiction of the Court.

However, the petitioner no.5 is a female member of the household.

Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, while I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.5, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 is rejected.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.5 (Jarina Begum @ Jamela Begum @ Jorina) is allowed. In the event of arrest, the petitioner no.5 (Jarina Begum @ Jamela Begum @ Jorina) 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 on further conditions that the petitioner no.5 shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date. The petitioner no.5 shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
