11 20-08-2026 (ct. no.11) KOLE 1635 In the High Court At Calcutta Jalpaiguri Circuit Bench CRM (A) 632 of 2026 In re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure/Section 482 of the BNSS in connection with Bhaktigar Police Station Case No. 485 of 2026 dated 13.06.2026 under Sections 126(2)/74/117(2)/109(1)/316(2)/318(4)/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. - A n d - In the matter of : Dipankar Das & Anr. .... Petitioners. Ms. Pooja Sah, … For the Petitioners. Ms. Panchali Deb Sikder (Nag), Mr. G. Saha, Mr. T. Prasad, … for the State. Mr. Satyan Sarkar, … for the defacto complainant. 1. The petitioner no. 1 is the nephew of the victim. The petitioner no. 2 is the wife of the petitioner no. 2. 2. The petitioners say that the dispute between the parties is civil in nature. They are not parties to any crime. They will fully cooperate with the Investigating Officer. They pray for pre-arrest bail. 3. Learned State Advocate strongly opposes the prayer. They show me the material in the case diary. 4. Learned Advocate for the defacto complainant also opposes the prayer. 5. Prima facie, it appears that the petitioners, taking advantage of the weakness and vulnerability of their 68 year old 2 relation, cheated her badly. Hence, I am not inclined to allow this application for anticipatory bail. 6. CRM (A) 632 of 2026 is, thus, dismissed. 7. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. ( Arijit Banerjee, J. )
