In the matter of : Biki Howlader
… Petitioner(s)
Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee Mr. Akash Sarkar
… for the petitioner(s)
Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, ld. APP Mr. Amal Kumar Datta Mr. Rishav Kumar Thakur
… for the State-respondent(s) Ms. Anindita Roy Chowdhury
…for the defacto-complainant
Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that due to marital dispute, the petitioner has been foisted with the present petitioner. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that there was continuous physical and mental torture inflicted upon the victim. State also opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. The marriage was solemnized in the year 2024.
2 Be that as it may, having considered the materials which are appearing in the case diary, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner is uncalled for. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner [Biki Howlader] be released on anticipatory bail subject to the satisfaction of the arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case once a week till the report in final form is submitted before the learned jurisdictional court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 3135 of 2026 is disposed of. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta.
