08.01.2026 Court No.28 Item No.16 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 4083 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Chakdah P.S. Case No.762 of 2025 dated 18.07.2025 under Sections 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of: Dinabandhu Maity ….Petitioner. Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. Avik Ghosh Mr. Abhinaba Mukherjee ….for the petitioner. Mr. Subhamoy Bhattacharya Ms. Afreen Begum ….for the State. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. It is alleged that the victim purchased poison on 15.05.2025 and thereafter consumed the same. She died in the hospital on 14th June, 2025. However, the FIR was registered much later on 18.07.2025 alleging that upon examination of the mobile phone of the victim, it transpired that the petitioner was in contact with her through several messages and phone calls. A charge sheet has already been submitted. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that there was a purported relationship between the two and that the petitioner finally refused to marry the victim. It will be for the Courts to finally decide whether there is any element of abetment of suicide in this case. 2 However, considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, 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, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
