11.01.21 S.R.

Sl.90 Ct.28 CRM No.10694 of 2020 Via video conference In re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed in connection with Chakdah Police Station Case No.304 of 2020 dated 26.10.2020 under Sections 498A/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code;

And In re:

Basanti Mondal Ms. Sunanda Bhattacharyya ... for the petitioner. Mr. Bidyut Kr. Roy Miss. Rita Datta ...for the State.

Apprehending arrest in connection with Chakdah Police Station Case No.304 of 2020 under Sections 498A/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code the present application has been preferred. The learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased and she has been falsely implicated in the present proceeding. The learned advocate appearing for the State respondents denies and disputes the contention of the petitioner. Upon considering the materials in the case diary and the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, we are of the opinion that further custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner, namely, Basanti Mondal, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount, one of whom must be local, 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.

The application for anticipatory bail being CRM No.10694 of 2020 is, thus, allowed.
