In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the
Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 12.03.2020 in connection with
Chapra P.S. Case No.63/2020 dated 29.02.2020 under Sections
498A/306/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And
In Re: Susmita Biswas Ors.

… … Petitioners.

Mr. Amanul Islam,
Mr. Sourav Mukherjee
… for the petitioners.

Mr. Sudip Ghosh,
Mr. Apurba Kumar Dutta
… … for the State.

Having considered the materials on record and keeping in

mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners i.e. in-laws of the

victim/housewife in the alleged crime and as the principal accused

i.e. husband had already been arrested and as the incident occurred

15 years after marriage, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to

the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the

petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of

Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of

like amount each, 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. Petitioners shall appear before

the investigating officer and hand over their passports, if any, within

a period of four weeks from date. In the event the petitioners do not

have passports, they shall personally appear before the investigating
2

officer and furnish affidavits to that effect within the time frame

mentioned herein above.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
