D/L931 20.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 1766 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Nabadwip Police Station F.I.R. Case No.218 of 2026 under Sections 318(4)/316(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 ; Sanjay Chakraborty @ Sanjay Kr. Chakraborty Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Syed Arif Ahamed Mr. Sudipta Bera. …for the petitioner. Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharya Mr. Mukesh Kr. Gupta. …for the State. Mr. Rohit Das Mr. Indradip Das. …for the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a registered clerk and he is having permanent hut and home. The accusation made against the petitioner was in discharge of his official work. The work is in progress and was time consuming when the present case has been instituted for misappropriating. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the materials appearing against the present petitioner. Prima facie, a case is made out. 2 However custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be warranted in the facts of the present case having considered the prescribed punishment under the relevant laws. Consequently, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Sanjay Chakraborty @ Sanjay Kr. Chakrabroty shall be released on bail 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 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Since the investigation of the case is in progress, petitioner shall meet with the investigating officer of the case once in a week or as and when called for by the investigating officer of the case. Accordingly, CRM(A)1766 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
