C.R.M. 8110 of 2020 (IA NO: CRAN 1 of 2020) (Through Video Conference) In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Kotwali P.S. Case No. 505 of 2020 dated 14/08/2020 under Section 305/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And rkd 20.10.2020 Ct. No.03 (Allowed) In the matter of: Jayasree Roy @ Swapna Roy & Anr. ....petitioners.

Mr. J. K. Bhowmick ...for the petitioners.

Mr. A. Sarkar ...for the State.

Petitioners undertake to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within 48 hours of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Accordingly, CRAN 1 of 2020 is disposed of.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are not the principal accused and have been falsely implicated in the instant case.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that petitioners spread rumors about the character of the victim who subsequently committed suicide.

We have considered the materials on record. It appears from the profile of the allegations that the victim had a love affair with co-accused Kaushick Debnath. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime and as the victim had not left behind any suicide note implicating the petitioners, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the

petitioners.

In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs. 10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Md. Nizamuddin, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
