IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.923
CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed
C.R.M. (A) 1730 of 2026
In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Baishnabnagar Police Station Case No. 198 of 2026 dated 23.02.2026 under Sections 329(4)/64/115(2)/126(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 1903 of 2026). And
In Re : XXX Vs. The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Suman De, Mr. Kazi M. Rahman
... For the Petitioner. Mr. P. Karan Singh
... For the State. Report submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State along with the acknowledgement of the private opposite party no.2/de facto complainant be kept with the record. Memo of Evidence submitted on behalf of the State be also kept with the record. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that on the relationship having become public, the present case was instituted against the present petitioner and his relations. The other accused persons are already on bail. The petitioner has been implicated on frivolous accusations. 2 Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. I have taken into account the materials appearing in the case diary as well as the CDRs which show continuous communication between the petitioner and the victim. Having taken into account the overall circumstances of the case including the factum of charge-sheet having been submitted before the jurisdictional court, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,
2023. As the charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 1730 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.
All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
