And In the matter of: Dipali Biswas ....Petitioner.

Mr. Gazi Faruque Hossain ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Binoy Panda Ms. Puspita Saha ...for the State.

The petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition as per the Rules within one week of resumption of normal functioning of the court. The petition is taken up through video conference on the basis of such undertaking.

The petitioner is the mother-in-law of the victim. The daughter-in-law committed suicide.

The post-mortem report does not reveal any external injuries and the hanging appears to be an act of suicide. In the circumstances, the petitioner need not be taken into custody at this stage. The petitioner will be entitled to anticipatory bail; but she must attend every date fixed for trial. In the event of any unexplained absence, the trial court will be entitled to cancel the bail without reference to this court.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner will be enlarged on bail on furnishing security of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer. In addition, the petitioner will abide by the conditions in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

CRM 7006 of 2020 and the interim application are disposed of.
