19.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.603 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2606 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kharagpur Town Police Station Case No. 604 of 2025 dated 26.12.2025 under Sections 329(3)/115(2)/117(2)/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 993/2025). And In Re : Md. Khalid Ali and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Md. Naimul Islam, Mr. Sk. Md. Anwarullah ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Lokesh Sharma, Ms. Pramita Banerjee ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been foisted with the present criminal case on issues relating to previous grudge. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. Having considered the materials appearing in the case diary, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioners in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1. Md. Khalid Ali and 2. Tabassum Ara 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 2 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 no.1, 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 no.1 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) 2606 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.)
