D/L933 20.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 1784 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kotwali Police Station Case No.659 of 2026 dated 09.06.2026 under Sections 303(2)/316(2)/316(5)/317(2)/318(4)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 ; Anup Kumar Sen alias Anup Kr. Sen alias Anup Sen Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Abhijit Basu Mr. Debdipto Banerjee. …for the petitioner. Mr. Somnath Adhikary. …for the State. Mr. Soham Banerjee Mr. Parashar Baidya. …for the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner apprehends arrest in connection with the instant case as he has been named in the FIR and was close proximity with another accused who has been arrested in connection with the instant case. Learned advocate for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. In view of the nature of the accusations, learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary. It has also been brought to the notice of this Court that the other accused has been granted 2 bail by the jurisdictional court. Having considered the locus of the present petitioner in respect of the materials appearing in the case diary, at present, I am of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the present petitioner may not be warranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Anup Kumar Sen alias Anup Kr. Sen alias Anup Sen 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 make himself available to the investigating officer of the case as and when called for by the investigating officer of the case. Accordingly, CRM(A)1784 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
