08.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.485 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2923 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Islampur Police Station Case No. 166 of 2026 dated 18.04.2026 under Sections 85/80/108/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (G.R. Case No. 1506/2026). And In Re : Jesmina Khatun @ Jesmina Bibi ... Petitioner. Mr. Md. Golam Nure Imrohi, Mr. Sandipan Maity, Mr. Partha Pratim Sinha ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Sayak Chakraborty, Ms. Supriti Sarkhel ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is the sister-in-law (wife of the brother of the principal accused). It has been submitted that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case; charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court. As such, custodial detention of the present petitioner may not be warranted. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and draws the attention of the Court to the post mortem report and emphasises on the injuries as also the statement of the neighbours. I have taken into account the specific contention of the neighbours and I find that the overt acts were at the behest 2 of the other accused persons. Having considered the same, I am of the opinion that since the charge-sheet has been submitted, custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Jesmina Khatun @ Jesmina Bibi 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) 2923 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.)
