24.08.2026 Court No.551 Item No.30 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 2506 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Panskura P.S. Case No. 416 of 2026 dated 06.06.2026 under Sections 109(1)/117(2)/126(2)/351(2)/3(5)/75(1)(i)/77 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of: Amit Patra ….Petitioner. Mr. Abhra Mukherjee Mr. Sauradeep Dutta Mr. Arpayan Mukherjee Mr. Swakshar Kumar Mondal Mr. Himadree Ghosh …for the petitioner. Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury Mr. Narattam Acharyya …..for the State. 1. Memo of evidence filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. 2. It is submitted by the learned advocate for the petitioner that the petitioner is innocent, having not committed the offence at all. He has been falsely implicated in this case out of long pending property disputes. Learned advocate for the petitioner further submits that there are several civil litigations including the partition suit is pending between the de facto complainant’s family and the petitioner’s family. He further submits that there are as many as six criminal cases filed by and between the parties. 3. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to various materials in the case diary including the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 2 of BNSS where the victim herself recorded a statement under Section 180 of BNSS as well. However, learned advocate for the State did not draw my attention to any statement recorded under Section 180 of BNSS of any other independent witnesses. Learned counsel for the State also submits that two of the accused persons have already been granted anticipatory bail by the learned jurisdictional Court. 4. Having heard the rival contentions and on perusal of the materials in the case diary, it transpires that the present petitioner along with other accused persons are alleged to have restrained the de facto complainant on her way. She was dragged into lonely place and the petitioner and other accused persons tried to commit sexual exploitation of the victim. They allegedly fled away after the local people assembled. 5. I have gone through the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS. The victim refused to undergo medical examination. There is nothing in the case diary that any independent witness has supported the prosecution as made in the First Information Report. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the materials in the case diary and also taking into consideration that the victim refused her medical examination, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. 3 7. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer 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 BNSS and on further condition that the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. 8. CRM (A) 2506 of 2026 is disposed of. 9. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities. (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
