In Re. An application for anticipatory bail under
Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
In the matter of:
Koushik Koner @ Koushik Kongar
-versus-
The State of West Bengal
Mr Tapas Kumar Ghosh
Mr A. Chakraborty
Mr S. Pan
… for the petitioner.
Mr Ayan Basu
Mr Gautam Banerjee
… for the State.
The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in connection with
Goghat Police Station Case No.87 of 2018 dated April 19, 2018
under Sections 498A/302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The petitioner is a brother of the victim’s husband who claims
not to have been involved in the incident that led to the death of the
victim.
The State produces the case diary and says that the victim
committed suicide, but the trouble began over the victim having
some muri.
Considering the extent of this petitioner’s involvement in the
victim committing suicide, there is no need to take the petitioner
into custody at the moment. The charge-sheet has also been filed.

satisfaction of the arresting officer, subject to the conditions laid
down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. In

and every occasion unless prevented by sufficient cause.
