D/L617 19.08.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2621 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Raninagar Police Station Case No.299 of 2026 dated 30.05.2026 under Sections 21(C)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Shyamal Mandal @ Shyamal Mondal & Ors. Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Tapodip Gupta Mr. Suman Bhanja Ms. Usashi Chattopadhyay. …for the petitioners. Mr. Amitava Karmakar Ms. Priyanka Chandra. …for the State. Learned advocate for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are being attempted to be implicated in the present case on the basis of the statement of the co-accused. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, on a specific query from this Court, learned advocate is unable to refute that there are no previous antecedents, CDR or money trail presently available so far as the present petitioners are concerned with the accused who has been arrested. In view of the aforesaid, I am inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner no.1, namely, Shyamal Mandal @ Shyamal Mondal, the petitioner no.2, namely, Mamun Sekh @ Mamon Shaikh and the petitioner no.3, namely, Pannu Mondal @ Pran Kumar Mondal shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is in progress, the petitioners shall report to the investigating officer of the case within a period of 10 days from date and thereafter on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer of the case for the purposes of investigation. Thus, CRM(A)2621 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
