14.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.M/L.165 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2618 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Balurghat Police Station Case No. 412 of 2026 dated 18.06.2026 under Sections 85/115(2)/109/ 89/62/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (G.R. Case No. 1129/2026). And In Re : Ramen Debnath and others ... Petitioners. Mr. Abhimanyu Banerjee, Mr. Arnab Saha, Mr. Abdul Nooman ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Kaustav Manna, Mr. Kaustav Shome ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioner no.1 is father-in-law, petitioner no.2 is mother-in-law and petitioner no.3 is maternal aunt-in-law who have been foisted with the present criminal case pursuant to the matrimonial dispute cropping up. 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 medical/ injury report as appearing in the case diary. Having considered the overall circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioners in connection with the 2 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. Ramen Debnath, 2. Basanti Debnath and 3. Bulbuli Debnath 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 investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner no.1 shall report to the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days from date and thereafter on all subsequent dates fixed by the Investigating Officer, if required for the sake of investigation and petitioner nos. 2 and 3 shall make themselves available as and when called for by the Investigating Officer of the case. This arrangement would continue till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional court. 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) 2618 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. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
