09.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No.53 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 757 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Chandipur P.S. Case No.362 of 2025 dated 20.09.2025 under Sections 80/85 of the BNS, 2023 and sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. And In the matter of: Anup Kumar Bhowmik @ Anup Bhowmik ….Petitioner. Mr. Soubhik Mitter Ms. Rajnandini Das ….for the petitioner Ms. Shaila Afrin Ms. Sana Naaz ….for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the brother-in-law of the alleged victim. The incident took place after about two months of the marriage between the couple. The husband of the alleged victim as well as the mother- in-law were arrested and thereafter granted bail. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She relies on the post mortem report and the statements of witnesses including those of neighbours. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the fact that two of the principal accused were arrested and were granted bail and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 2 In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
