Rakib (Allowed) CRM (A) 1985 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Tamluk Police Station case no. 360 of 2026 dated 29.05.2026 under Sections 420/406/436/467/384/471/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act, 1959. And In the matter of : Subhankar Mandal @ Laltu Mandal & Ors. ……Petitioners. Mr. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Dhiman Banerjee Mr. Quazi Ezaz Ahmed .....for the Petitioners. Mr. Soumya Raha ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submit that petitioners have been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case after the change of administration and the incident complained of is of the year 2022 although, the FIR has been registered in the year 2026. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the accusations appearing against the present petitioners and their complicity. Having regard to the overall circumstances, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner may not be warranted in the facts and circumstances of the case. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. 2 As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners namely, Subhankar Mandal @ Laltu Mandal, Rabindranath Manna, Rajib Mallik @ Raju Mallik and Subhas Chandra Jana shall furnish bonds subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/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 in progress, petitioners shall make themselves available before the investigating officer within a period of 10 days from date thereafter the investigating officer would fix necessary dates as he deems fit and proper. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 1985 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
