18.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.16 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 1873 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Dankuni Police Station Case No. 231 of 2022 dated 19.06.2022 under Sections 364A/34 of the Indian Penal Code and charge-sheet submitted under Sections 364A/323/506/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code (G.R. Case No. 1101/2022). And In Re : Sk. Sanawaj Hossain @ Sk. Sanwaj Hossain ... Petitioner. Mr. Dipankar Aditya, Ms. Aishwarya Priya Raha ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Kalidas Saha ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been implicated as the vehicle which was used belonged to the father of the present petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. I have taken into account the statement of the victim and the father of the victim. Records reflect that charge- sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court. Having considered the fact that the petitioner was neither named by the victim or his father or any other witness and the complicity only related to the vehicle which was used for the offence, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection with the 2 instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Sk. Sanawaj Hossain @ Sk. Sanwaj Hossain 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 charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. 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) 1873 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.)
