11.06.2026 Sl. No.58 NB CRM (A) 1491 of 2026 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Gazole PS Case No.22/2026 dated 07.01.2026 under Sections 126(2)/117(2)/109/351(3) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Sariful Ansari … petitioner Mr. Sarfaraj Nawaj. …for the petitioner. Mr. Pinaki Bhattacharyya, Mr. Suraj Mishra. ….for the State. Memo of Evidence filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. A scuffle took place between the victim and the assailant. However, no grievous hurt was caused. Charge sheet has been submitted. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statement of the victim and the statements of other witnesses. It is alleged that the petitioner, who happens to be the brother of the victim, hit him on a vital part of the body like the head with a stick and caused grievous cut injury measuring about three inches by two inches by one inch. According to the statement of a witness contained at page 8 of the case diary, the victim was confined by the petitioner and thereafter severely assaulted. 2 Considering the above and the other incriminating materials available in the case diary, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. The application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, thus, rejected. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
