15.01.2025 20 sdas Allowed C.R.M. (A) No. 157 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with New Alipore Police Station Case No. 159 of 2024 dated 22.11.2024 under Sections 318(4)/316(2)/351 of the BNS. And In Re : Rahul Kumar Singh ….. petitioner Mr. Sagar Saha Mr. Sandeep Prasad Shaw Mr. Aman Kumar Singh ..…for the petitioner Ms. Zareen N. Khan Ms. Snigdha Saha .…for the State Mr. Pawan Kumar Gupta Mr. Karan Daga ….. for de facto complainant 1. Heard the learned advocates for the parties. 2. We have considered the materials on record. Dispute arose on the score of non-payment of price of goods sold and delivered. Mere failure to pay the price of goods sold would not constitute cheating. Custodial interrogation for recovery of money is not permissible in law. Under such circumstances we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 3. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall 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 be subject to the Signed By : SHANTANU DAS High Court of Calcutta 16 th of January 2025 04:52:34 PM 2 conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on condition that he shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date and on further condition that he shall meet the investigating officer once in a week until further orders. 4. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : SHANTANU DAS High Court of Calcutta 16 th of January 2025 04:52:34 PM
