25.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.64 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2760 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Bizpur Police Station Case No. 183 of 2026 dated 17.06.2026 under Sections 308(5)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 4300/2026). And In Re : Sourav Dey Sarkar @ Tanu and others ... Petitioners. Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra, Mr. Supriyo Das, Ms. Madhurai Sinha, Ms. Upasana Banerjee, Mr. Bisal Roy ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Madan Mohan Roy, Ms. Ayana Dey ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that similarly placed accused person has been granted anticipatory bail as the accusation made in the complaint goes back to January 2025. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the materials appearing in the case diary as well as the fact that similarly placed accused person has been granted anticipatory bail. Having considered the overall circumstances, I am of the opinion that the present petitioner be extended the same benefit. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioners, within a period of ten days from date, shall make themselves available before the Investigating Officer of the case and thereafter, the Investigating Officer of the case, if required, would fix subsequent dates for presence of the petitioners for the sake of investigation. 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) 2760 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. 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.)
