She then submits that family members of the informant took away the mobile phone of the deceased on 09.02.2025 and transaction has been made from that mobile to the tune of Rs.2,57,000/- in their accounts. She next submits that the petitioner had also filed information petition before the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rajmahal, which was numbered as Information Application ( 2025:JHHC:29663 ) -2- A.B.A. No. 5693 of 2025 No.209 of 2019. She further submits that what role the petitioner has played in taking such step by the deceased, is not disclosed in the complain case, which has been converted into an FIR. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that the petitioner happened to be the husband of the deceased and in view of that, the prayer for anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. It is an admitted position that U.D. Case No.10/2025 was registered and, thereafter, the complaint case has been filed, which has been converted into an FIR. In the said U.D. case, nothing was stated against the petitioner and his family members. The petitioner has also filed information application. It has also been pointed out that the mobile phone of the deceased was taken away by the family members of the informant and they have transferred the amount of Rs.2,57,000/- in different account from that mobile. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender, he will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rajmahal in connection with Kotalpokhar P.S.
