And In Re: Saidul Khan @ Sabir Sk. … … Petitioner Mr. Arun Shaw … … for the petitioner Ms. Shaila Afreen Ms. Poulami Bose … … for the State 1. Heard learned Advocates for both the parties. 2. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner and others demanded mobile phone numbers of minor girls who were students. When they refused, they were physically assaulted. In view of the nature of crime and assault as well as molestation on minor girls, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 3. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stands rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
