C.R.M. 10918 of 2019 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 18.11.2019 in connection with Siliguri Women P. S. Case No.47 dated 23.03.2019 under Sections 498-A/406 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

In the matter of : Aditi Garg.

... Petitioner.

Mr. Ujjal Ray.

...for the Petitioner.

Ms. Manasi Roy.

.....for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that she is the married sister-in-law of the victim housewife and is innocent. It is also submitted that charge sheet has also been submitted. Learned Advocate appearing for the State refers to the Case Diary and also opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Having considered the materials on record as well as the fact that the petitioner is not the principal accused and in view of the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime, we are inclined to hold that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and she may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Suvra Ghosh,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
