IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Criminal Miscellaneous Jurisdiction 08.07.2026 Item No. 10 Ct. No. 5 C.R.M.(A) 397 of 2026 AN (REJECTED) In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Jalpaiguri Women Police Station Case No. 48 of 2026 dated 21.04.2026 under Sections 8 of POCSO Act, 2012 now pending before the Court of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 2nd Court-cum-learned Special Court under POCSO Act at Jalpaiguri. In the matter of : Sabir Kumar Ghosh @ Subir Ghosh @ Sudhir Ghosh … Petitioner. Mr. Bibek Tarafdar …for the Petitioner Ms. Panchali Deb Sikder (Nag) Mr. Atul Dong …for the State. Mr. Ujjwal Luksom …for de facto complainant 1. The petitioners are anticipating arrest in connection with Jalpaiguri Women Police Station Case No. 48 of 2026 dated 21.04.2026 under Sections 8 of POCSO Act, 2012 now pending before the Court of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 2nd Court-cum-learned Special Court under POCSO Act at Jalpaiguri. 2. The State has handed over the Court the report of the Inspector-in-Charge, Jalpaiguri Women Police Station showing completed service of notice upon the victim girl. Let such report be taken on record. 2 3. The petitioner’s matured age or his physical condition as transpiring from the medical documents submitted by the de facto complainant may not be of sufficient weight or gravity in this case to consider his prayer favourably, particularly, in view of the statement of the victim as available in the case diary recorded before the learned Magistrate. Since the petitioner’s role has been specifically transpired therefrom, this Court is inclined to reject the anticipatory bail prayer of the petitioner. 4. The anticipatory bail prayer of the petitioner is therefore rejected though investigation has been completed, due to the gravity of the offence as alleged against him. 5. C.R.M.(A) 397 of 2026 stands dismissed. (Rai Chattopadhyay, J.)
