AB/160/2018 of SUKANTA MAJUMDER AND ANR Vs THE STATE OF TRIPURA on 21 December 2018

Order

Having given thoughtful consideration to the averments made in the complaint as also the fact that the mother of the accused applicant No.2 had also lodged a complaint prior to the lodging of the FIR in question, and the fact that the accused applicants are permanent resident of State of Tripura and are not likely to flee away from the jurisdiction of the Court and/or interfere with the investigation/intimidate or threaten the witnesses, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the accused applicants. Also the accused applicants undertake to fully cooperate with the investigation and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when so required.

This Court is also conscious of the fact that FIR stands registered in connection with West Agartala Women P.S Case No. 70/2018, dated 03-11-2018 under Sections 366/376(i)/323/34 of IPC.

Under these circumstances, the accused applicants, namely, Sri Sukanta Majumder S/o. Sri Haradhan Majumder and Smt. Soma Datta (Majumder) W/o. Sri Sukanta Majumder are directed, in the event of their arrest, to be enlarged on bail subject to the following terms and conditions :
