This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Mr. Mondal, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners, submits that the principal accused is on bail and that the charge sheet has been submitted. The present petitioners are the father and elder sister, respectively, of the principal accused, and there is no specific allegation against them. He submits that, in view of these facts, the benefit under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended in favour of the petitioners.
2. Mr. Karmakar, learned Advocate appearing for the State produces the case diary and memorandum of evidence and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.
3. The memorandum of evidence as placed is taken on record.

4. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the respective parties and perused the case diary and other materials available on record. The charge sheet has been submitted and the principal accused is on bail. There is no specific allegation against the present petitioners. Taking note of this aspect, I am of the view that the benefit under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended in favour of the petitioners.
5. In view of the above, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed.
6. Accordingly, I direct that, in the event of arrest, the petitioners, viz., (1) Dayamoy Mondal and (2) Sharbani Mondal be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kakdwip, Soutth 24 Parganas and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
7. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
