22.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.15 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 3004 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 : Taraman Bibi ... Petitioner. Mr. Md. Golam Nure Imrohi, Mr. Sandipan Maity, Mr. Partha Pratim Sinha ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Soma Mishra Chatterjee, Mr. Ayon Shubhra Bandyopadhyay ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is mother-in-law who has been implicated in connection with the instant case. Earlier the husband of the deceased was arrested and subsequently released on bail. It has been submitted that after conclusion of investigation, charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court. 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. I have taken into account the post mortem report which reflects physical assault being inflicted upon the deceased who finally committed suicide. Be that as it may, having considered the fact that charge-sheet has been 2 submitted, the husband was arrested and granted bail and the petitioner being a lady, I am of the opinion that at this stage, 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., Taraman 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) 3004 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.)
