Case No. 45 of 2020 dated 18/01/2020 under Sections 498A/448/376/324/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of: - Bahadur Mahaldar ....petitioner.

Mr. S. Chatterjee ...for the petitioner.

Ms. F. Hossain, Mr. P. Bose ...for the State.

Petitioner is the principal accused who ravished the victim housewife as appearing from the victim's statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. In view of the prima facie role of the petitioner in the alleged crime, we are not inclined in granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
