AD 69 April 17, 2026 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 848 of 2026 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Jangipara P.S. Case No.479 of 2025 dated 27.12.2025 under Sections 109(1)/115(2)/316(2)/76/79/85/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Sk. Babar Ali … petitioner Mr. Shibaji Kumar Das Ms. Maitrayee Das Mr. Dipendu Sarkar … for the petitioner Mr. Bidyut Kumar Roy Mr. Asok Das … for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the husband of the de facto complainant. The marriage between the couple took place 17 years ago. The petitioner/husband had been residing abroad for 15 years. The prime grievance of the alleged victim was that after his return she was staying at her mother’s place. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. The mother-in-law and the neighbours have already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and relies on the statements of witnesses and the injury report which, however, does not show infliction of any external injury. 2 Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 the further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation, shall meet the investigating officer once a week till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
