27.08.2026 Sl. No. 19 Ct. No.551 Mujahid IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE C.R.M.(A) 2514 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Mothabari Police Station Case No. 151 of 2025 dated 26.02.2025 for the offence punishable under Sections 329(4)/115(2)/64/62 of the BNS, 2023. -And- In the matter of: Madan Mandal …Petitioner Mr. Atis Kumar Biswas Mr. Amit Singh …for the Petitioner Mr. Sagar Saha Ms. Nayana Mukhopadhyay …for the State Md. Wasim Akram Ms. Sbrina Parveen …for the de facto complainant 1. Having heard the submissions made on behalf of the learned advocate for the petitioner and the learned advocate for the State as well as the learned advocate for the de facto complainant/plaintiff and upon perusal of the materials in the case diary, it transpires that the petitioner is alleged to have entered into the house of the victim on a plea to give her treatment. The petitioner is stated to be a ‘kabiraj’ by profession. After entering into the house of the de facto complainant, the petitioner gave medicine to the husband of the victim and sexually assaulted the victim. 2 2. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the investigation of the case has already concluded. He is no more required for the purpose of investigation. 3. Having considered the nature of allegations made in the First Information Report and the materials in the case diary, it appears that in course of incident, when the husband of the victim came to rescue her, he was also assaulted by the petitioner. The petitioner also alleges assault upon her by the family members of the victim. Such materials do place the petitioner at the place of occurrence. 4. In view of the aforesaid materials in the case diary, facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegations made against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the present petitioner is rejected. 6. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 2514 of 2026 is dismissed. 7. All parties shall act in terms of the server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
