20.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 610. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 2675 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Bhadreswar Police Station Case No. 179 of 2026 dated 18.06.2026 under Sections 318(4)/319(2)/324(2)/316(5)/61(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of : Bikram Kumar Shaw ……Petitioner. Mr. Sandipan Sarangi Mr. Wrickbrata Roy Mr. Chiranjit Pal Mr. Souvik Halder Mr. Iswar Das Mr. Shwashwitwik Chatterjee Mr. Nistar Molla Mr. Monjit Bhattacharjee ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Amti Halder ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been foisted with the present criminal case pursuant to change of administration. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that petitioner is influential and have clout over the area. 2 I have taken into account the nature of the accusations and is of the opinion that although investigation may continue but custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner namely, Bikram Kumar Shaw be released on bail subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is in progress, petitioner shall report to the investigating officer within a period of 10 days and on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer of the case for the sake of investigation. Thus, CRM (A) 2675 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted 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.)
