02.07.2025 Court No.28 Item No.44 ssi CRM (A) 1878 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Berhampore PS Case No.590 of 2024 dated 19.04.2024 under Sections 304A/325/354/34 of the Penal Code. And In the matter of: Sudhir Chowdhury & another. ….Applicants/Petitioners. Mr. Somnath Adhikary …for the petitioners Mr. Imran Ali Mr. Amanul Islam ..for the State Considering the materials available in the case diary as against the present petitioners, the alleged roles ascribed to them and in view of the delay of about 1½ years in filing an application under Section 156 (3) of the Code, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall co-operate with investigation. The petitioners 2 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
