07.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.833 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2114 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Baguiati Police Station Case No. 288 of 2026 dated 31.05.2026 under Sections 126(2)/329(4)/308(2)/ 308(3)/308(4)/115(2)/117(2)/118(1)/109/336(3)/338/340(2) /324(4)/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 0001808/2026). And In Re : Sajal Biswas ... Petitioner. Mr. Asim Kumar Niyogi, Mr. Soumitra Dey, Mr. Vaskar Pal ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Mayukhi Mitra, Mr. Chandra Gupta Kamal ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. Case diary which has been produced before this Court do not reflect that there is any injury report in the case diary and amongst the sections for which the case has been registered, one of the sections is Section 109 of BNS. Having regard to the fact that the case was initiated after there was certain change in administration, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection 2 with the 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., Sajal Biswas 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. 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) 2114 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.)
