24.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L.595. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (A) 2719 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Asansol (South) Police Station case no. 130 of 2026 dated 11.04.2026 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/109(1)/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of : Sabi Pandit @ Rahul Pandit. ……Petitioner. Mr. Apurba Kumar Dutta Ms. Sremoyee Mukherjee ......for the Petitioner. Mr. Ranjan Chakrabarti Mr. Abhijit Singh ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that there was a scuffle between two groups. Consequent to which the petitioner has been foisted with the criminal case. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that there are injuries. I have taken into account the materials appearing in the Case diary and the genesis of the case on the basis of an application under Section 175(3) of the BNSS. Statement of the injured is not available in the Case Diary. Having considered the injury reports, as also the fact which has been narrated and initially police authorities are reluctant to accepting the complaint, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner namely, Sabi Pandit @ Rahul Pandit is allowed. 2 As such, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper 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 himself 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. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 2719 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
