D/L74 25.08.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2770 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Paikar Police Station Case No.174 of 2026 dated 08.06.2026 under Sections 318(2)/318(3)/318(4)/338/336(3)/340(2)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 3 & 4 of West Bengal Gambling and Prize Competition Act, 1957 and Section 7(3)/9 of Lotteries (Regulations) Act; Monirul Islam alias Septu Sk Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Prosenjit Mukherjee Mr. Raja Roy Mr. Prosenjit Chongder. …for the petitioner. Mr. Aditya Tiwari Ms. Namrata Chatterjee. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that although case has been made out but so far as present petitioner is concerned he is innocent and has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case. State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. According to the State, one of the accused was arrested and subsequently granted bail. So far as the present petitioner is concerned, his name surfaced from the statement of the co-accused. On a specific query from this Court, it has been reported by the State that police has to 2 work out on the information after the name of the petitioner has surfaced. Having regard to the same, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Monirul Islam alias Septu Sk shall be released on bail 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 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is in progress, the petitioner shall report to the investigating officer of the case within a period of 10 days from date and thereafter on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer of the case for the sake of investigation. Thus, CRM(A) 2770 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
