18.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.22 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (A) 1882 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Balagarh Police Station Case No. 581 of 2025 dated 21.11.2025 under Sections 316(5)/318(4)/61 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re : Aloka Das and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Samiran Mandal, Ms. Shreyashee Mitra, Mr. Nitish Samanta ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Brajesh Jha, APP, Ms. Surabhi Banerjee ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been politically victimised. It has also been contended that the disputed amount has been deposited by the petitioners. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the nature of allegations including the enquiry report of the Block Development Officer. Having considered that there was a trust imposed upon the petitioners by the electorate and the petitioners acted in violation of such trust, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the present petitioners. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. 2 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) 1882 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. 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.)
