15.10.2020 Sl. No.44 akd [Rejected] C. R. M. 7729 of 2020 [via video conferencing] In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Raipur Police Station Case No. 18 of 2020 dated 05.09.2020 under Sections 498A/302/120B of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re: Saraswati Patra ... ... Petitioner Mr. Shataroop Purukayastha .. Advocate ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee .. Ld. Public Prosecutor Mr. Aniket Mitra .. Advocate ... ... for the State Leave is granted to the learned advocate-on-record for the petitioner to correct the cause title in course of this day. Subject to such correction, matter is taken up for hearing.

Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in torturing the housewife who suffered unnatural death within one year of marriage, we are of the opinion that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to her. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stands rejected.
