C.R.M. (A) 1777 of 2026
In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to section 438 of the criminal procedure code-1973 filed in connection with Jora Bagar Police Station Case No.66 of 2026 dated 21.05.2026 under Sections 85/318(2)/316(2)/88/351(3)/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 3 and 4 of D.P. Act;
Mrs. Sunita Jangid & Anr. Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr.
Mr. Rabindranath Bag Ms. Nazni Khatun Ms. Swagata Saha Ms. Piyas Chowdhury. …for the petitioners.
Mr. Koustav Lal Mukherjee. …for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the present case was initated because of issues relating to matrimonial dispute and the present petitioner no.1 is the mother- in-law and the petitioner no.2 is the brother-in-law.
Learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary and opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.
I have taken into account the nature of complaint and the necessity of custodial interrogation.
Having regard to the overall circumstances, presently I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the petitioners may not be warranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the
2 petitioners is allowed.
Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners, namely, Mrs. Sunita Jangid and Mr. Hemant Chandan Jangid shall be released on bail 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 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
However, as the investigation of the case is still in progress, I direct the petitioner no.2, namely, Mr. Hemant Chandan Jangid to make himself available before the investigating officer of the case by 5th August, 2026. Thereafter, the investigating officer if he requires he will fix subsequent dates till submission of the charge-sheet.
With the aforesaid observations, CRM(A)1777 of 2026 is allowed.
All 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 supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
