Petitioner. Mr. Rounak Ghosh … For the Petitioner. Mr. Avrajyoti Das, Mr. G. Ghosh, Mr. D. Rai, … for the State. Ms. Somdutta Patra … for the defacto complainant. 1. The petitioner says that he has no role to play in the alleged crime. The present complaint is a counter blast to an earlier complaint lodged by the petitioner against the present complainants. Charge sheet has been filed upon completion of investigation. He prays for pre-arrest bail. 2. From the material in the case diary that the State Advocate has shown me, there appears to be prima facie incriminating material against the petitioner. 3. Learned Advocate for the defacto complainant also opposes the prayer vehemently. 4. Considering the material in the case diary and the nature of the allegations, I am not inclined to allow this application for anticipatory bail. 2 5. CRM (A) 459 of 2026 is, thus, dismissed. 6. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. ( Arijit Banerjee, J. )
