July 10, 2026 3 (S/L) ARDR (Allowed) CRM (A) 1774 of 2026 In Re : An Application under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Narkeldanga Police Station Case No. 320 dated 09/6/2026 under Sections 109(1)/126(2)/115(2)/324(4)/305(a)/74/351(3)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In Re : Rajdip Singh and Badal Das @ Biswanath Das ... Petitioners. Adv. Imtiaz Ahmed, Adv. Ghazala Firdaus, Adv. Syed Nafirul Islam, Adv. Sk. Saidullah, Adv. Mithun Mondal, Adv. Md. Arsalan, ... for the petitioners. Adv. Krishnendu Bhattacharjee, Adv. Amal Kumar Datta, ... for the State. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated due to political rivalry. They are not named in the FIR. No injury was sustained by the victim or his family members in the alleged incident. There is a delay in lodging the complaint which has not been duly explained. Learned counsel for the State produces the Case Diary and opposes the prayer. The petitioners are not named in the FIR. There is inordinate delay in lodging the FIR. The delay has not been duly explained. Besides the statements of the witnesses implicating the petitioners, no other document has been collected so far substantiating the same. It is a fact that the first petitioner has criminal antecedents to his credit. However, in view of the fact that the investigation has proceeded sufficiently and also in view of the material available against the petitioners in the Case Diary, this Court is inclined to 2 hold that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required for the purpose of investigation. They may be granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners namely Rajdip Singh and Badal Das @ Biswanath Das be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS and subject to further condition that they shall meet the Investigating officer once a week till submission of charge sheet. They shall appear before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within two weeks from date. The application for anticipatory bail is disposed of. Case Diary be returned. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
