Case No. 1471 of 2026 now pending before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman. In the matter of : Jayanta Tewari @ Jayanta Tiwary … Petitioner. Mr. Apurba Kumar Datta Ms. Sreemoyee Mukherjee …for the Petitioner. Mr. Debayon Ghosh …for the State. 1. Memo of evidence, furnished by the S/I., Barabani P.S., Asansol Durgapur Police Commissionerate, filed in Court today, is taken on record. 2. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that other co- accused persons were arrested and subsequently, their prayer for bail was allowed by the learned trial court. He prays for anticipatory bail for the petitioner on any terms and conditions. 3. On the other hand, learned advocate representing the State opposes the aforesaid prayer and relies upon a bank statement of the accused person. There was a money trail between the principal accused and the present petitioner. It is submitted that they used to deal in stolen scrap metals. The Investigating Officer caught them red-handed while transporting the stolen scrap metal. Some of the accused persons were arrested. 4. The C.D. is produced. 5. Having heard the learned advocates for the respective parties and upon perusing the materials available on record, including the case diary, particularly, the statement recorded under Section 180 of the BNSS, 2023 and the bank statements, this Court finds that there is sufficient material available against the present petitioner to implicate the offence as alleged. 6. In such view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail in favour of the present petitioner, and the prayer for anticipatory bail is thus, rejected. 7. C.R.M. (A) No. 2085 of 2026 stands dismissed. 8. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 2 9.
