And
In Re : Sanwar Ali
... Petitioner.
Mr. Apurba Kumar Ghosh, Mr. Rudranil Ghosh
... For the Petitioner.
Mr. Goutam Dey, Mr. P. Karan Singh
... For the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in connection with the present case. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. I find that two excavators were detained by the police authorities and the drivers therein divulged the name of the petitioner as the person who is responsible for excavating the soil. Having considered the same, I am of the opinion that petitioner’s custodial detention may be warranted in the facts of the case as there has been violation of law. Having regard to the same, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory
2 bail to the present petitioner. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. 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) 2607 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. 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.
