The Memo of Evidence, filed on behalf of the State in Court today, is taken on record. 2. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and she has been falsely implicated. Actually, the husband of the de facto complainant had an extramarital affair with the present petitioner. When the de facto complainant came to know about the affair, she demanded a huge sum of money from him to give him a divorce and due to pressure, he committed suicide. The learned Advocate prays for anticipatory bail on any terms and conditions. 3. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the state, on the other hand, produces the case diary, pen drive and memo of evidence and relies upon the statements of the de facto complainant and other witnesses and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 2 4. Having heard the submission of the respective parties and on perusal of the statement of the witnesses recorded under Section 180 of the BNSS, 2023 and also having gone through the pen drive, this Court finds there is no direct material against the present petitioner. Charge-sheet has already been submitted. Considering the overall facts, this Court finds this is not a fit case for custodial interrogation. Accordingly, her prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. 5. Accordingly, this Court directs 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 learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chanchal, Malda 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 and on further condition that the petitioner shall not leave the territorial jurisdiction of Harishchandrapur Police Station without prior permission of concerned Trial Court and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear every date as fixed by the trial court without any justifiable cause.
