17/02/2026 D/L – 50 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 387 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Krishnagar Women P.S case no. 27 of 2025 dated 10/3/2025 under sections 109/316(2)/76/85/3(5) of the BNS. In the matter of: Alamen Shaikh ...Petitioner. Mr. Dipanjan Chatterjee Ms. Rimpa Adhikary Ms. Kakan Das …for the petitioner. Mr. Md. Anwar Hossain Ms. Sima Biswas …for the State. 1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the husband of the de-facto complainant. The marriage took place four years ago. The other co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail. On 7/9/2024, the petitioner had earlier lodged the first FIR, inter alia, alleging commission of offence under Section 498(A) of the IPC. With substantially similar allegations, the second FIR has been lodged. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses and the injury report dated 7/9/2024 which, however, does not show infliction of any grievous injury. 3. It appears that the injury report is of the same date as the one on which the first FIR was registered. 2 4. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O once a week till submission of report in final form. 6. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 7. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
