IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Criminal Miscellaneous Jurisdiction C.R.M. (A) 495 of 2025 In Re : An application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Falakata Police Station Case No. 253 of 2024 dated 14.06.2024 under Sections 306 of IPC.

And In Re : Babli Khatun @ Bewa ...petitioner.

Mr. Arnab Saha Md. Shoaib Akhtar ... for the Petitioner. Mr. Nilay Chakraborty Mr. Biswarup Roy ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Prayer for anticipatory bail was turned down by this Court on 13th November, 2024. The initial allegation against the petitioner was under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Subsequently, charge sheet has been submitted under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner has not been implicated by the child of the victim in his statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. Considering the change in circumstances of the case, material on record as well as extent of complicity of the

petitioner in the alleged offence, this Court is inclined to hold that the petitioner be granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly in the event of arrest, the petitioner Babli Khatun @ Bewa be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. The petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within two weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail is thus disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
