Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 10/01/2018 in connection with

Sections 498A/302/201/120B of the Indian Penal Code.
And
In the matter of: Sima Das
….petitioner
Mr. S Das Mahapatra, Adv.
…for the petitioner
Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, PP
Mr. R. D. Nandy, Adv.
…for the State
Petitioner is the married sister in law of the victim housewife who resided separately
from the couple. It is submitted that the victim committed suicide 17 years after her marriage.
Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
Having considered the materials in the case diary and bearing in mind the submission
that the petitioner resided separately from the couple and that the victim committed suicide 17
years after marriage, we are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be
necessary in the fact of the case and the petitioner may be granted anticipatory bail.
In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of
Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties of like amount to the satisfaction of the
arresting officer subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1973.
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.
