CRM (A) 2981 of 2026
In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with English Bazar Police Station Case No.
dated 21.04.2026 under Sections 329(4)/117(2)/109/303(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023.
And In the matter of : Siuli Khatun @ Shiuli Khatun & Anr.
……Petitioners.
Mr. Md. Masudur Rahaman Paik
……for the Petitioners.
Mr. Madan Mohan Roy
Mr. Sanjib Das
….for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners are ladies who have been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case. So far as the other accused persons are concerned, they were arrested and have been subsequently released on bail.
Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail, draws the attention of the Court to the injury report as well as the statement of the injured under Section 183 of the BNSS.
I have taken into account the statement of the injured wherein emphasis is on Sk. Hasan and Sk. Babul. The injury report however reflects the name of the present petitioners.
Be that as it may, so far as the present petitioners are concerned they are ladies.
As such, I am of the view that custodial detention of the present petitioners may not be warranted in the facts of the case.
Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners, namely, (1) Siuli Khatun @ Shiuli Khatun, (2) Parun Bibi @ Parul Bibi, be released on bail subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is in progress petitioners shall make themselves available as and when required by the investigating officer of the case for the sake of investigation. This order of anticipatory bail will remain valid 4 weeks after the charge sheet is submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 2981 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted be kept with the record.
All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
