M/L283 19.02.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 2676 of 2025 In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Ithar Police Station Case No.387 of 2025 dated 08.06.2025 under Sections 103(2)/118(2)/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Rupsena Khatun alias Rupsana Khatoon alias Sapeka alias Sopeka Khatun Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. Shashanka Shekhar Saha Mr. Sofiul Islam Mondal. …for the petitioner. Mr. Sharequl Haque. …for the State. Mr. Kaushik Choudhury. …for the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody with a seven month’s child and she was taken to custody at a stage when the child was one month only. Learned advocate on humanitarian grounds prays for bail. Learned advocate for the State submits that the petitioner’s complicity as is reflected from the case diary relates to supplying an iron rod with which vital blow was inflicted. Learned advocate for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for bail and submits that some of the other accused persons are absconding and in respect of other accused persons this Court on 2nd December, 2025 granted liberty to approach this Court after the charges are over. 2 Petitioner’s factual circumstances are completely different from the other accused persons. Petitioner is a lady having a child of seven months. Having considered only this issue, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. The petitioner, namely, Rupsena Khatun alias Rupsana Khatoon alias Sapeka alias Sopeka Khatun shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Uttar Dinajpur at Raiganj. If on bail, the petitioner shall furnish her address to the court as also to the local police station and make herself available at the address concerned as and when required by the police authorities. In future, petitioner shall be present in court for cooperating with the trial proceedings. Any violation of the aforesaid conditions will entitle the learned court in seisin of the case including the learned trial court to cancel the bail without any further reference to this Court. Accordingly, CRM(M) 2676 of 2025 is allowed. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
