06.02.2025 14 sdas Rejected C.R.M. (A) No. 265 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Golabari Police Station Case No. 218 of 2023 dated 04.07.2023 under Sections 420/406 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re : Sourav Dey .….. petitioner Ms. Rita Patra Mr. Pradip Ghosh Ms. Pusmila Das ..…for the petitioner Mr. Subhamoy Bhattacharya Ms. Sima Biswas ….. for the State 1. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits dispute is civil in nature and does not call for custodial interrogation. Co-accused has been granted regular bail. He prays for anticipatory bail. 2. Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits petitioner and de facto complainant were dealing in crypto currency. De facto complainant was induced to part with crypto currency worth 25,000 U.S. Dollars but the said amount was not remitted to the crypto currency wallet of the de facto complainant. 3. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner and de facto complainant were dealing in crypto currency. Crypto currency worth 25,000 U.S. Dollars i.e. INR Rs.26 lakhs had been transferred to the account to one Kalyan 2 Ghosh (co-accused) who, in turn, transferred the amount to the petitioner’s account. When confronted, petitioner and Kalyan Ghosh assaulted the de facto complainant and refused to remit the value of the transferred currency. In light of the aforesaid facts we are of the opinion custodial interrogation for progress of investigation is necessary and hence we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Subhendu Samanta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
