22.01.2026 Court No.28 Item No.53 ssi CRM (A) 4403 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Mothabari Police Station Case No.277 of 2025 dated 05.04.2025 under Sections 126 (2)/117(2)/109/ 351 (2)/3(5) of the BNS. And In the matter of: Rima Khatun @ Reema Bibi & another. .... Petitioners.

Mr. Sagar Saha Ms. Nayana Mukhopadhyay ...for the petitioners Mr. Prabhash Bhattacharyya Mr. Kaustav Banerjee ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. There was a quarrel between neighbours. The alleged victim used to throw garbage at the residence of the petitioners. This resulted in an altercation. No grievous injury was caused. Other sisters of the petitioners were granted anticipatory bail. The father, being the principal accused, was arrested and was thereafter granted bail.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, he submits that the main allegations are against the father of the present petitioners. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners and the fact that charge sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail of 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 on further conditions that 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 petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
