IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.21 CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI Ct.No.3 dc.

Allowed C.R.M. (A) 918 of 2025 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Pradhannagar Police Station Case No. 607 of 2025 dated 03.09.2025 under Sections 108/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In Re :

Sri Nepal Roy and others ... Petitioners.

Mr. Saptarshi Banik, Mr. Shankar Sarkar ... For the Petitioners.

Mr. A. S. Chakraborty, APP, Mr. Aniruddha Biswas ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners happen to be the father-in-law, mother-in-law and far-off relations who have been implicated in connection with the instant case along with the wife of the deceased. The background of the case relates to the husband who has committed suicide and has held responsible the wife along with her relations.

Learned advocate appearing for the State has produced the case diary and a document in the nature of suicide note.

I have taken into account the contents of the said document along with the accompanied statement and I am of the view that so far as the merit of the case is concerned, the

custodial detention of the present petitioners is not at all required. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.20,000/- each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The petitioners shall also make themselves available as and when called for by the Investigating Officer and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district concerned without prior permission of the Investigating Officer of the case. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM(A) 918 of 2025, is, thus, disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
