25/06/2026 D/L – 49 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 1747 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Chakdaha P.S case no. 830 of 2026 dated 08/06/2026 under Sections 329(4)/117(2)/109(1)/351(3)/303(2)/3(5) of the BNS. In the matter of: Kumud Sarkar & Ors. ...Petitioners. Ms. Minoti Gomes Ms. Sonali Das …for the petitioners. Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharyya Mr. Bankim Pal …for the State. 1. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that there is a long standing civil dispute between the private parties. The petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statements of witnesses and the injury report, which, however, does not show infliction of any grievous injury. 3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 2 4. In the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall meet the Investigating Officer once a week till submission of report in final form. 5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
