D/L666 22.07.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (A) 886 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Islampur Police Station Case No.3 of 2026 dated 02.1.2026 under Section 6 of the Protection from Sexual Offences Act; Subhadeep Chakraborty Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr Mr. Milon Mukherjee Mr. Dattatreya Dutta. …for the petitioner. Mr. Kaustav Lal Mukherjee. …for the State. Mr. Sagnik Roy Chowdhury Mr. Trijit Mitra. …for the de facto complainant. Learned senior advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case without any foundation. There is a delay of 14 days in initiation of the present case and no satisfactory explanation has been offered for such delay. According to the petitioner, the case is a subject matter of afterthought and the petitioner is victimised under the circumstances because of the rigors of the act. Learned advocate for the State has drawn the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS as well as the medical report. 2 Learned advocate for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for bail and substantiates the grounds of delay. Having considered the fact that prima facie a case has been made out and the girl being of tender age, I am not inclined to grant the relief as prayed for even though charge-sheet has been already filed. Petitioner, if so advised, would surrender before the learned special court and pray for regular bail. The special court would independently consider the prayer for bail without being influenced by any observations made by this Court. Accordingly, CRM(A)886 of 2026 is dismissed. 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.)
