02/04/2026 D/L – 27 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 523 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Ranaghat P.S case no. 41 of 2026 dated 21/01/2026 under sections 69/89/351(3) of the BNS. In the matter of: Shubhankar Biswas @ Subhankar Biswas ...Petitioner. Mr. Sumanta Das …for the petitioner. Mr. Manaj Kr. Das Mr. Asraf Mandal Mr. Prabal Das …for the de-facto complainant. Mr. Imran Ali Ms. P. Saha …for the State. 1. Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that there was a romantic relationship between the petitioner and the alleged victim. Due to a misunderstanding, an FIR was registered. However, now the petitioner and the alleged victim have got married and are living happily. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the de-facto complainant supports such contentions of the petitioner and submits that the two are living happily as a married couple. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the report and the case diary and submits that while the allegation was of getting into a physical relationship on a false promise of marriage, subsequently it appears that 2 the petitioner and the alleged victim have got married. The Marriage Certificate relied upon has been verified. There is no material available in the case diary so far as the allegation of forcible termination of pregnancy is concerned. 5. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O as and when required. 7. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 8. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
