CRR - 1043 of 2026 With IA CRAN NO. 1 of 2026
Prasanta Sen Vs. State of West Bengal & Anr.
Mr. Arijit Chatterjee, Mrs. Soma Chowdhury (Bondhu) Mrs. Pronita Paramanya Naskar,
…..for the petitioner Mr. Suman De, Mr. Sharequal Haque,
…for the State
It appears that, on the basis of a complaint lodged by Opposite Party No. 2, Criminal Misc. Case No. 21 of 2024 was initiated and is presently pending before the Learned Sessions Judge, North 24 Parganas. It further appears that a compromise was subsequently arrived at between Opposite Party No. 2 and the petitioner, pursuant to which the petitioner issued twelve post-dated cheques, the particulars whereof are set out at page 19 of the application. On the basis of the said compromise, the Learned Sessions Judge granted bail to the petitioner on October 19,
2024. However, only one cheque of Rs.7,00,000/- dated May 20, 2024, was dishonoured and the Learned Sessions Judge, by orders dated December 17, 2025 and January 21, 2026 cancelled the petitioner’s bail and issued a warrant of arrest.
2 The petitioner has challenged the said orders before this Court, contending that Opposite Party No. 2 had been duly intimated not to deposit the said cheque on account of insufficient funds in the petitioner’s account; nevertheless, the cheque was presented and consequently dishonoured. Today, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has issued a cheque bearing No. 392948, dated April 27, 2026, in favour of Opposite Party No. 2 for a sum of Rs. 7,00,000/- in lieu of the cheque dated December 17, 2025. The petitioner shall deposit the said cheque before the Learned Sessions Judge on the next date of hearing, and Opposite Party No. 2 shall be at liberty to encash the same forthwith. Accordingly, the orders dated December 17, 2025 and January 21, 2026, whereby the Learned Sessions Judge cancelled the petitioner’s bail and issued a warrant of arrest, shall remain stayed for a period of one month from date. In the event that the petitioner deposits the cheque in terms of this
order on the next date of hearing before the leaned Sessions Judge, the said orders shall stand quashed with immediate effect. It is, however, made clear that in the event of failure on the part of the petitioner to deposit the cheque in terms of this
order, the orders dated December 17, 2025 and January 21, 2026 shall revive upon the expiry of one month from date and
3 the Learned Sessions Judge shall be at liberty to proceed in accordance with law. Accordingly, CRR 1043 of 2026 along with CRAN 1 of 2026 stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties on usual undertaking.
