21.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.67 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2682 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Bhatar Police Station Case No. 343 of 2026 dated 20.06.2026 under Sections 329(4)/115(2)/109(1)/ 308(5)/351(3)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 3878/2026). And In Re : Sekh Jalaluddin and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Uday Sankar Chattopadhyay, Ms. Sadia Parveen ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, APP, Mr. Biswajit Tiwari ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been implicated after there was change in administration. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Having considered the accusations which reflect that incident complained of starts from the year 2021, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioners in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1. Sekh Jalaluddin and 2. Arnab Dey 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 2 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. 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) 2682 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.)
