And

In the matter of : Tarikul Mondal
…… petitioner

Mr. Shamik Bagchi
….for the petitioner

Mr. Rana Mukherjee, Ld. A.P.P.
Mr. Arif Ekbal Molla
….for the State

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court be taken on record.

None appears for the de facto complainant despite

service.

Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits

that, the mother-in-law was granted bail by the jurisdictional

Court.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the

attention of the Court to the materials in the Case Dairy. He

submits that, the police complaint was lodged within six

months of marriage. Taking advantage of the absence of the

husband of the victim, corrosive poison was poured into the

month of the victim. The medical documents corroborate such

fact. He also draws the attention of the Court to the statement

of the victim recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal

Procedure Code.

Statement of the victim recorded under Section 161 of the

Criminal Procedure Code implicates the petitioner before us.

Medical documents and materials in the Case Diary corroborate

corrosive poisoning.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement

of the petitioner therein, we are unable to grant anticipatory

bail to the petitioner.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected.

CRM(A) 942 of 2024 is disposed of.
