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. The application for anticipatory bail is made on the ground that the petitioner No.1 is a young lady and the victim committed suicide unable to meet the demands of her. It is also alleged in the charge sheet that the petitioner No.1 got married to her ex- boyfriend which prompted the victim to commit suicide.
2. It appears that the charge sheet was filed in the matter as about four years ago and the trial could not proceed since the petitioners were absconding.
3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.25,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Siliguri and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that petitioners shall appear before the learned Trial Court regularly till disposal of the trial.
5. The office of the Public Prosecutor shall notify the petitioners on the next date of trial.
6. It is made absolutely clear that in default of attending the trial court on any date, the bail granted to the petitioners shall automatically stand cancelled and the petitioners shall be taken into custody and custodial trial shall proceed thereafter.
7. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed and disposed of.
