Md. Hasibul @ Rimon v. The State Of West Bengal And ANR

09.01.2025 sdas Allowed C.R.M. (A) No. 4605 of 2024 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Manikchak Police Station Case No. 715 of 2024 dated 26.09.2024 under Sections 69/79/351(3) of the BNS. And In Re : Md. Hasibul @ Rimon ..... petitioner Mr. Kazi M. Rahman .....for the petitioner Ms. Minoti Gomes Mr. Debanshu Ghorai ....for the State 1.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits there was a romantic relationship between the parties. Accordingly he prays for anticipatory bail.

2.

Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

3.

Inspite of notice nobody appears for the de facto complainant.

4.

We have considered the materials on record including statement of the victim. In her statement victim discloses there was intimate relationship between the parties. Whether cohabitation was out of love or on false promise of marriage has to be assessed at the appropriate stage of the proceeding. Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Signed By :
