Mousumi Naskar & Anr.

Versus

State of West Bengal Mr. Nazir Ahmed, Adv.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, Ld. PP Ms. Faria Hossain, Adv.

...for the State.

The petitioners undertake to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per the Rules within one month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. The petition is taken up through video conference on the basis of such undertaking.

The learned Counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated. Learned Counsel appearing for the State, however, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. It is submitted on behalf of the State that in the suicide note forming part of the seizure list has clearly shown that amongst other, the petitioners are the responsible persons for the suicide. Having considered the materials available on record and the prima facie involvement of the petitioners in the commission of the alleged offence, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Saugata Bhattacharyya, J.) (Soumen Sen, J.)
