Ganesh Barman And ANR v. State Of West Bengal

28.09.2020 tkm C.R.M. 7144 of 2020 sl no. 67 CRAN 1 of 2020 (via video conference) In Re : An application for anticipatory bail under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Matigara P.S case no. 808 of 2019 dated 25.9.2019 under section 304B of the IPC And In Re : Ganesh Barman & Anr.

...... petitioners Ms. D Dhar ...... for the petitioners Mr. A S Chakraborty ...... for the State Petitioners undertake to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conferencing. Accordingly, the application being 1 of 2020 is disposed of. Having considered materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioners i.e. parents in law of the victim housewife in subjecting her to torture resulting in her unnatural death within six months of marriage, we are of the opinion that in view of the gravity of the offence this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Kausik Chanda, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
