IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.M/L.183
CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2700 of 2026
In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Rajapur Police Station Case No. 141 of 2026 dated 06.05.2026 under Sections 85/80/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 1156/2026). And
In Re : Sekh Rabiyal and others
... Petitioners. Mr. Rabindra Nath Pal, Mr. Tanmay Chowdhury, Mr. Subhasis Kumar Paul
... For the Petitioners. Mr. Biswajit Tiwari, Mr. Suman Chakraborty
... 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, petitioner no.3 is brother-in-law, petitioner no.4 is sister-in-law, petitioner no.5 is brother-in-law, petitioner no.6 is another brother-in-law and petitioner no.7 is sister-in-law of the deceased. It has been contended that the husband in this case has been arrested and subsequently he has been released on bail. So far as the present petitioners are concerned, they have hardly any complicity. As such, they may not be taken into custody. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. 2 I have taken into account the statement under Section 183 of the BNSS of one of the witnesses concerned as well as the other materials. As charge-sheet has been submitted and considering the complicity of the present petitioners, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioners 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. Sekh Rabiyal, 2. Meherun Nesha Begum, 3. Sekh Habib, 4. Jhuma Khatun, 5. Saharul Islam Khan, 6. Sk. Amir Ali and 7. Ruma Khatun 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) 2700 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.
