20.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.20 ssi CRM (A) 4337 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Mahishadal Police Station Case No.290 of 2025 dated 11.07.2025 under Sections 85/80/103(1)/ 61 (2) of the BNS 2023 read with Section 3 /4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act giving rise to G.R Case NO. 1359 of 2025 wherein chargesheet has been submitted under Sections 85/80/61(2)/316(2) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Salema Bibi @ Pinti & others. …. Petitioners. Mr. Navanil De Mr. Shoumilya Mazumder …for the petitioners Mr. Madhusudan Sur, Ld. APP Mr. Anindya Sundar Chatterjee ..for the State A copy of the translation of a purported suicide note as filed in Court is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the mother in law, the aunt in law, the uncle in law, the brother in law and the sister in law of the alleged victim. The husband was arrested and was thereafter granted bail by this Court. The marriage had taken place 2 ½ years ago. There is no specific allegation made by the victim against the petitioners. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. There is some kind of an allegation made against the petitioner no.1 in the suicide note. However, the suicide note indicates that had the husband not gone away, she would not have committed suicide. He also refers to the other statements of witnesses and the post mortem report. 2 Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the fact that the husband was arrested and was thereafter granted bail and that charge sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the application 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.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount 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 BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly. The presence of the Investigating Officer is noted and is dispensed with. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
