C.R.M. 11552 of 2018

In Re : An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Serampur
P.S. Case No.443 of 2018 dated 12.9.2018 under Sections
498A/406/323/34 of the Indian Penal Code

And

In the matter of : Anupam Banerjee

…Petitioner.

Mr. Apurba Kr. Dutta,
Mr. S. S. Chatterjee …for the Petitioner.

Mr. Imran Ali,
Ms. Sutapa Banerjee …for the State.

Report on behalf of the State is placed on record

wherefrom it appears that recovery of streedhan articles could

not be effected due to non-availability of the defacto

complainant.

We have considered the materials on record. Keeping in

mind the nature of allegations and the fact that the petitioner

has shown eagerness to cooperate with the investigation and/or

recovery of streedhan articles, we are of the opinion that

custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and he

may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the
2

petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of

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

like amount each to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and

also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2)

of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further

condition that he shall meet the Investigating Officer of the case

once a week until further orders.

The application for anticipatory bail is, accordingly,

allowed.

Urgent Photostat Certified copy of this order, if applied

for, be supplied expeditiously after complying with all necessary

legal formalities.
