25.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.53 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2749 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Patrasayer Police Station Case No. 282 of 2025 dated 18.11.2025 under Sections 85/80/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 1662/2025). And In Re : Chandana Bagdi and another ... Petitioners. Ms. Pampa Dey (Dhabal) ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Palash Kumar Poddar, Mr. Amit Roy ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioner no.1 is mother-in-law and petitioner no.2 is sister-in-law of the deceased. They have been implicated in connection with the instant case pursuant to the daughter-in-law/sister-in-law having committed suicide. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. I have taken into account the statement of the witnesses along with the post mortem report. I do not find any injuries in the post mortem report. Marriage was solemnized four years prior to the date of the incident. Having considered the overall circumstances, I am of the opinion that although the investigation of the case would continue, but custodial detention of the present petitioners 2 in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1. Chandana Bagdi and 2. Ritu @ Mithu Bagdi shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper 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. As the charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2749 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned 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 with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
