D/L657 23.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 1961 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Harishchandrapur Police Station Case No.508 of 2025 dated 26.05.2025 under Sections 329(3)/351(2)/115(2)/76/118(2)/117(2)/109 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Manti Mahaldar Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Soupal Chatterjee Mr. A. Das Ms. Madhumita Chatterjee. …for the petitioner. Mr. Rajesh Kr. Shah. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a lady who has been implicated in the case over family dispute. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and draws the attention of the Court to the injury report. I find that the injury report of Bablu Mahaldar and Jully Mahaldar or amongst others are serious. So far as Bablu Mahaldar is concerned, there is a penetrative incised wound in the lumber region and there is head injury of six centimeters along with other parts of the body when the injured sustained injuries. However, having considered the statement of the injured 2 and the petitioner being a lady, I am of the opinion that as the vital blow inflicted was in respect of a different accused persons, custodial detention of the present petitioner may not be warranted in the facts of the present case. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Manti Mahaldar 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. 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. Accordingly, CRM(A)1961 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
