In Re: Govind Jee Ojha @ Govind Ojha
… … Petitioner
Mr. Sourav Chatterjee .. Advocate
Mr. Sauvik Dere .. Advocate
… … for the petitioner

Mr. Sandip Chakraborty .. Advocate
… … for the State

Heard the learned advocate appearing for both the parties.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is the husband of the victim. It is

further submitted that the victim-housewife had been staying at her parental home since

2016.

Learned advocate appearing for the State produces the case diary and opposes

the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of

allegations in the light of the aforesaid submission made on behalf of the petitioner, we

are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner may not be

necessary in the facts of the present case and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely

Govind Jee Ojha @ Govind Ojha, 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
2

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 and on further condition

that he shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a week until further orders and shall

appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

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