13.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.557 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 1760 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Sabang Police Station Case No. 108 of 2026 dated 24.04.2026 under Sections 85/115(2)/117(2)/70(1)/ 351(3)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (G.R. Case No. 1311/2026). And In Re : Petitioner Vs. The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati, Ms. Swastika Chowdhury, Ms. Ilika Nag, Mr. Avijit Chatterjee ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Rima Banerjee, Ms. Tanusree Kar ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is the father-in-law of the complainant who has been implicated in the present case. Additionally, it has been submitted that petitioner is innocent and because of matrimonial dispute, a criminal case has been foisted against the petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS and having considered the same, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case is 2 unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner 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, 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 for the sake of investigation. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 1760 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.)
