09.07.2026 Court No.28 Item No.73 ssi CRM (A) 1617 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Domjur Police Station Case No. 294 of 2026 dated 17.05.2026 under Sections 17A of the West Bengal Inland Fisheries Act 1984 and Section 4D of West Bengal Land Reforms Act 1955. And In the matter of: Manoj Chatterjee …. Petitioner Mr. Sanjib Das Ms. S. Kumari …for the petitioner Mr. Somnath Adhikary Mr. Arnab Sau ..for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. It states that the petitioner is not the owner of the land in question. However, for the excavation and/or filling of land, no permission was taken by the owner. Heard the learned counsels for the parties. Perused the case diary. 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. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding 2 to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
