In Re:
… … Petitioner
Mr. Amitabha Karmakar,
Mr. Arup Kr. Bhowmick.
… … for the petitioner
Ms. Sujata Das,
Mr. Atulya Sinha.
… … for the State
1. Petitioner submits victim is an adult married lady and had
voluntarily left with the petitioner. Accordingly, he prays for
anticipatory bail.
2. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for
anticipatory bail.
3. We have considered the materials on record including
statement of the victim. Victim is an adult married lady. She
stayed with the petitioner in a hotel. She did not raise any
protest. Allegation of forcible rape requires to be assessed in the
light of the aforesaid circumstances at the appropriate stage of
the proceeding.
4. Under such circumstances, we are inclined to grant
anticipatory bail to him.
5. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the
Pranab Kumar Pramanik
petitioner viz., be released on bail
upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of like
amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also

subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of
the BNSS. He shall appear before the jurisdictional court and
pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.
6. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
