And In the matter of: Suhita Ghosh ...… Petitioner Mr. Tapas Kr. Dey .…For the petitioner Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati Ms. Swastika Chowdhury Ms. Ilika Nag Mr. Avijit Chatterjee .…For the De Facto Complainant Mr. Biswajit Tiwari Mr. Anirban Kumar Banerjee …..For the State 1. It is submitted by learned advocate for the petitioner that the petitioner happens to be a lady. Although, there are allegations of assault by a knife but, no injury was caused to any person. 2. Learned advocate for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner is a Teacher by profession posted in Primary School at Belda and prays for anticipatory bail. 2 3. Learned advocate for the State as well as learned advocate for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. Learned advocate for the de facto complainant submits that the co-accused is still absconding. 5. Learned advocate for the State relies upon various materials in the Case Diary including the statement of victim recorded under Section 183 of B.N.S.S. as well as the statement of witnesses recorded under Section 180 of the B.N.S.S. 6. Having heard the submissions made on behalf of the parties and on perusal of materials in the Case Diary it transpires that the petitioner and her husband are said to have visited the house of her maternal grandmother. The maternal grandmother is residing with the family of the de facto complainant. 7. It is the allegation that the petitioner and her husband used to create disturbances in the family of the de facto complainant. On the alleged date of incident, the petitioner is said to have pushed down the handicapped daughter of the de facto complainant and on raising protest, the petitioner assaulted mother of the child with a knife. The Case Diary does not contain any injury report. 3 8. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner being a working lady, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. 9. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, 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 and on further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation. The petitioner shall, however, not enter into the jurisdiction of Debra Police Station save and except for the purpose of attending the Court until further orders, in default, the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. 10. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. 11. Accordingly, C.R.M. (A) 2476 of 2026 stands disposed of. (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.) 4
