20.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L.598. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (A) 2662 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Mangalkote Police Station case no. 235 of 2026 dated 24.06.2026 under Sections 341/325/326/448/427/379/384/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of : Naba Khan @ Nabakumar Khan & Anr. ……Petitioners. Mr. Swapan Banerjee Mr. Diptendu Banerjee ......for the Petitioners. Mr. Pritam Roy Mr. P. Karan Singh ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the incident complained of relate back to the year 2021 and 2024. Petitioner has been implicated pursuant to the change in administration. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and draws the attention of the Court to the injury report. The injury report refers to the year 2021. I have taken into account the overall materials appearing in the Case Diary and is of the view that although investigation would continue but custodial detention of the present petitioners may not be warranted. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners namely, Naba Khan @ Nabakumar Khan and Bipattaran Dhara @ Bipadtaran Dhara @ Baku Dhara is allowed. As such, in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such 2 terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper 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 petitioners, within a period of ten days from date, shall make themselves 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 petitioners for the sake of investigation. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 2662 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
