Petitioners. Mr. Sudip Guha, Ms. S. Das, Ms. A. Nag, … For the Petitioners. Mr. Avrajyoti Das, Mr. G. Ghosh, Mr. R. Das, … for the State. 1. The petitioners say that the FIR was lodged after delay of nine months. The incident is of October, 2025. The FIR was lodged in July, 2026. The incident was an outcome of political rivalry. They pray for anticipatory bail. 2. Learned State Advocate opposes the prayer. He tells me that the victim succumbed to the injury that was inflicted on him by the petitioner and other accused persons and passed away on August 7, 2026. Charge under Section 103 of the BNS, 2023 has been added. 3. In view of the gravity of the charge leveled against the petitioners and considering their possible complicity in the alleged crime, I am not inclined to allow this application for pre- arrest bail. 2 4. CRM (A) 608 of 2026 is, thus, dismissed. 5. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. ( Arijit Banerjee, J. )
