21.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.61 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. partly allowed C.R.M. (A) 2676 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Chanchal Police Station Case No. 386 of 2026 dated 02.05.2026 under Sections 85/115(2)/117(2)/ 109/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 1367/2026). And In Re : Raja Ghosh and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Sagar Saha, Mr. Gourav Roy ... For the Petitioners. Dr. Pradip Banerjee, APP, Ms. Shalu Gupta ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioner no.1 is husband and petitioner no.2 is father-in-law of the informant. It has been submitted that because of trivial matrimonial dispute and discord, the present case has been initiated and whole of the matrimonial family has been roped in. Learned advocate appearing for the State produces the case diary and draws the attention of the Court to the injury report. I have taken into account the injuries which are appearing on the person of the wife of petitioner no.1. Having considered the injury report, I am of the opinion that it would not be fit and proper to grant the benefit of anticipatory bail to the petitioner no.1. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.1 viz. Raja Ghosh is rejected. 2 So far as the petitioner no.2 is concerned, his prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner no.2 viz., Jitendra Nath Ghosh shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper and also be 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 no.2, within a period of ten days from date, shall make himself available before the Investigating Officer of the case and thereafter, the Investigating Officer of the case, if required, would fix subsequent dates for presence of the petitioner no.2 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) 2676 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.)
