22.07.2026 Serial no. 692 [G.S.D] CRM (A) 1848 of 2026 In re : An Application under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023/under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. in connection with GR No. 1917 of 2026 arising out of Baguiati PS Case No. 300 of 2026 u/s 221/222/224/121(1)/309(6)/303(2)/109/135(2)/3(5) of the BNS. -And- In the matter of : Shouryashree Saha & Anr. … Petitioner(s) Mr. Moyukh Mukherjee Ms. Aishwarya Bazaz Ms. Sarmistha Basak … for the petitioner(s) Mr. Bhaskar Seth … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.1 is the daughter of Chandana Saha and the petitioner no.2 is the relation of Chandana Saha, who have been implicated in the instant case as they did not allow the members of the State Water Investigation Directorate Department (SWID). It has also been contended that the petitioners are innocent and have been implicated only because they are relations of the principal accused, namely, Chandana Saha who has already been arrested by the Investigating Agency. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that so far as the present petitioners 2 are concerned, there are certain materials appearing in the case diary. Having considered the same and the complicity of the present petitioners, I am of the opinion that their custodial detention may not be warranted in the facts and circumstances of the case. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is Allowed. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners [Shouryashree Saha and Sarita Jha] be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the 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. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioners shall meet with the investigating officer of the case as and when called for till the investigation is over. Accordingly, CRM (A) 1848 of 2026 is disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
