19.11.2020 SL No. 66 ss CRM 8733 of 2020 With 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 Pingla P.S. Case No.46 of 2020 dated 04.02.2020 under sections 306/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Poulamita Patra Mr. Amal Krishna Samanta Mr. Arun Kr. Das Mr. S.N. Bera ... ... for the Petitioner Ms. Zareen N. Khan Mr. A. Banerjee ... ... for the State Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within one month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. The application being CRAN 1 of 2020 is disposed of. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the parents of the deceased had not accepted the marriage. As a result, he committed suicide.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegations in the light of the aforesaid submission made on behalf of the petitioner, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
