In the matter of : Dhiren Dandapat And Ors. … Petitioners
Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati, Ms. Swastika Chowdhury, Ms. Irika Nag, Mr. Avijit Chatterjee. … for the petitioners
Mr. Shankar Mukherjee. … for the State-respondent(s)
1. The anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of the petitioners is taken up for consideration. 2. Learned advocate for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.1 happens to be full brother of the defacto complainant/victim. Petitioner no.2 is the wife of the petitioner no.1 and petitioner no.3 is her daughter-in-law. 2
3. Learned Advocate for the petitioners also submits that there are allegation of assault and tearing of wearing apparels of the victim. He submits that the alleged case is outcome of the property disputes between the petitioner no.1 and the defacto complainant, his sister. 4. The son of petitioner no.1 was also arrested in connection with the instant case and was subsequently released on bail by the jurisdictional Court. Learned advocate for the petitioners prays for anticipatory bail. 5. Learned advocate for the State relies upon the statements of witnesses under Section 180 of the BNSS as well as other materials in the case diary and he opposes the prayer for the anticipatory bail, on the ground that the petitioner no.1 is alleged to have abused the victim and torn her wearing apparels. 6. Considering the materials and the case diary, it appears that there are allegations of assault, due to disputes between the petitioner no.1 and the victim. The petitioner no.1 allegedly abused the victim, thereafter assaulted her with a bamboo stick. 7. Learned advocate appearing for the State has not drawn my attention to any, injury report contained in the case diary. 3
8. In such circumstances, considering the nature of allegations as well as the materials in the case diary, prayer of the anticipatory bail is allowed. 9.
Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, 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 petitioners shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and 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. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is Allowed. 11. CRM (A) 2376 of 2026 is disposed of. 4
