07.01.2026 Sl. No.10 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M. (A) 3619 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Khargram PS Case No.349/2025 dated 22.07.2025 under Sections 137(2)/140(3)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Badsha Sk. @ Safiulla Sk. … petitioner Mr. Manas Kumar Das. …for the petitioner. Mr. Sandip Chakraborty, Mr. Aritra Bhattacharyya. …for the State. Ms. Shabana Hasin, Ms. Samima Akter. …for the de facto complainant. Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Considering the subsequent statement given by the 17 year old victim girl exonerating the present petitioner and the other materials available in the case dairy, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha 2 Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
