Sudip Das And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal

03.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.27 ssi CRM (A) 4407 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Kalyani Police Station Case No.328 of 2024 dated 04.05.2024 under Sections 306/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Sudip Das & others.

.... Petitioners.

Mr. Shibaji Kumar Das Ms. Maitrayee Das ...for the petitioners Mr. Saibal Bapuli, Ld. APP Mr. Subham Bhakat ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. Five months before the incident, the wife of the victim had left the matrimonial home. The victim husband committed suicide in his own house. The present petitioners are the brothers in law and the mother in law of the alleged victim. The petitioner contends that the husband committed suicide due to depression as the wife had developed extramarital relationship.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case.

However, considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that a charge sheet has been submitted, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to 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 the petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
