27.07.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.637 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2129 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Bolpur Police Station Case No. 218 of 2026 dated 04.06.2026 under Sections 132/221/74/79/324(4)/115(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 700/2026). And In Re : Gour Gopal Dutta ... Petitioner. Mr. Saryati Datta, Mr. Sanjib Kumar Dan ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Piyali Chatterjee, Mr. Manoj Kumar Singh ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been named as an accused particularly for using abusive languages and for aiding the other accused. So far as the other accused persons are concerned, there are specific allegations against them. The principal accused viz. Mantu Sharma was arrested on 04.06.2026 and was granted bail on 15.06.2026. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the accusation against the present petitioner and I am of the opinion that though a case has been made out for investigation, but so far as the present petitioner is concerned, his custodial detention in 2 connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Gour Gopal Dutta shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner, within a period of ten days, shall make himself available before the Investigating Officer of the case and thereafter, the Investigating Officer of the case would fix subsequent dates, if required, for presence of the petitioner for the sake of investigation. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2129 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned 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 with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
