05.03.2025 5 sdas Rejected C.R.M. (A) No. 98 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Jamalpur Police Station Case No. 71 of 2023 dated 08.03.2023 under Sections 420/406 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re : Sri Pradip Poddar .….. petitioner Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Mr. Supriyo Das ..…for the petitioner Mr. Debabrata Chatterjee Mr. Karan Bapuli ….. for the State Mr. Uday Sankar Chattopadhyay Mr. Rajashree Tah Ms. Trisha Rakshit Ms. Aishwarya Datta Ms. Bidisha Chakraborety Ms. Sadia Parveen …… for the de facto complainant 1. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits he has paid a substantial sum of money to the de facto complainant in lieu of the dumper which had been let out to him. He strongly refutes the allegation that a second dumper had also been let out. Accordingly, he prays for anticipatory bail. 2. In light of the aforesaid submission we called upon the State to submit report whether the second dumper had been let out to the petitioner or not. Repot submitted in Court is placed on record. 2 3. Having considered the report and submissions made by the learned advocates for the parties we note two dumpers had been let out to the petitioner. Initially some payments were made against the dumpers. Thereafter petitioner stopped making payments and none of the dumpers have been recovered as yet. Custodial interrogation for recovery of the dumpers is necessary. Keeping in mind the aforesaid facts we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
