Sandhya Bauldas v. State Of West Bengal

16.12.2020 ss Allowed C.R.M. 10381 of 2020 (Through Video Conference) In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Dadpur P.S. Case No.82 of 2020 dated 28.07.2020 under sections 498A/306 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Sandhya Bauldas Mr. Sudip Ghosh Chowdhury Mr. A. Bose ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Arijit Ganguly Mr. Avik Ghatak ... ... for the State Allegations of torture are general and omnibus in nature. Statutory presumption under section 113A of the Evidence Act is not attracted.

Under such circumstances and in view of the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime, 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.
