31.07.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.19 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (A) 1578 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kaliachak Police Station Case No. 619 of 2026 dated 10.05.2026 under Sections 316(2)/318(2)/ 318(3)/318(4)/61(2)/336(2)/336(3)/337/338 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re : Kabir Biswas ... Petitioner. Mr. Sanjay Bardhan, Mr. Syed Nazmul Hossain ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Surabhi Banerjee ... For the State. Md. Wasim Akram, Ms. Sabrina Parveen ... For the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is an Advocate of 38 years of experience with an unblemished career. He has been falsely implicated in connection with the present case and present case has been instituted to extract money from the petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that petitioner and other accused entered into a conspiracy and both of them allured the petitioner to part with a sum of Rs.7,40,000/- on the assurance that they will obtain an order of bail from the High Court. A fake ordersheet was produced. The attention of the Court has specifically been drawn to the accusation in the complaint 2 that both the accused no.1 and accused no.2 on 16.02.2026 called the family members of the complainant in front of the office of the Superintendent of Police and the other accused handed over the copy of the ordersheet of the High Court which is fake. The said fake ordersheet was subsequently detected when both the accused persons entered into an agreement for returning the money. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and draws the attention of the Court to the seizure list where both the agreements were seized and in one of the agreements, the petitioner’s signature is appearing. I have taken into account the accusations of the case as also the forged ordersheet which is a part of the case diary. Having regard to the fact that the present is an application for anticipatory bail, prima facie, I am of the opinion that accusations are serious and custodial interrogation of the petitioner is necessary for unearthing the truth as the accusations are definitely affecting the administration of justice. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 1578 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. Pending connected application, if any, is consequently disposed of. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
