17.07.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 953. Kausik CRM (A) 1685 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Digha P.S. Case No. 14 of 2026 dated 23.02.2026 under Sections 318(4)/316(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of : Amit Guha Roy ……Petitioner. Mr. Pratip Kumar Chatterjee, Sr. Adv. Mr. Prasanta Bagchi Ms. Lata Saha Ms. Maitrayee Chatterjee ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Sankalpa Bhattacharjee, Group B ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been foisted with the present criminal case. Although, there were certain trivial dispute. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and has produced the case diary along with a report prepared by the Investigating Officer of the case. The report reflects that although there are accusations of Rs. 16 lakhs being parted to the accused persons but till date the Investigating Officer was not handed over with any document of acknowledgment. Having considered the same, I am inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 2 Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner in Digha P.S. Case No. 14 of 2026 dated 23.02.2026 is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner be released on bail subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Once in every 10 days Petitioner shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case. With the aforesaid observations CRM (A) 1685 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
