IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.57
CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2753 of 2026
In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Karaya Police Station Case No. 232 of 2026 dated 25.07.2026 under Sections 61(2)/316(2)/318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 2435/2026). And
In Re : Pallabi Ghosh
... Petitioner. Mr. Ankan Santra
... For the Petitioner. Mr. Shourjyo Mukherjee, Ms. Madhumita Sadhukhan
... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, raises objection relating to a quantum of gold not having been returned which amounts to more than Rs.5,00,000/-. The accusation as a whole reflects that there was continuous business transaction between the accused and the complainant. Subsequently for non-return of a quantum of gold, the present case has been initiated. Accordingly, I am of the view that a continuous commercial transaction and subsequent failure to keep up to the promise earlier made, do not call for custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Pallabi Ghosh 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 petitioner, within a period of ten days from date, shall make herself 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 petitioner 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) 2753 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.)
