17.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.300 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (A) 1897 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Patashpur Police Station Case No. 185 of 2026 dated 01.05.2026 under Sections 64/85/109/123/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re : Petitioner Vs. The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Ashok Das, Ms. Ayana Dey, Mr. Sourav Mukherjee ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Amal Kumar Datta ... For the State. Mr. Malay Bhattacharyya, Mr. Pradip Paul ... For the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is father-in-law who has been falsely implicated in connection with the present case. The husband and the mother-in-law have been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge. Learned advocate appearing for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. I have taken into account the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS and I find that there is a specific accusation against the present petitioner/father- in-law for ravishing her. Having considered the same, I am of 2 the opinion that this is not a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 1897 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.)
