And In Re : Sekendar Ali @ Sakendar Ali ...... petitioner Mr. Arijit Ghosh ...for the petitioner Mr. Nilay Chakraborty, Ld. A.P.P., Mr. Kallol Nag .... for the State Affidavit of service filed in Court be taken on record. None appears for the defacto complainant despite service. Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that, the marriage between the petitioner and the victim took place 9 years ago. Petitioner was falsely implicated. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary and in particular to the injury report of the defacto complainant. The medical examination report of the defacto complainant amongst others records that there was odor of

kerosene oil found from the apparels of the defacto complainant. That apart, there are injuries which were found from the body of the defacto complainant.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner in the incident, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.

The application being CRM (A) 691 of 2024 is dismissed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
