28.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.89 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (A) 2816 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Contai Police Station Case No. 409 of 2026 dated 02.08.2026 under Sections 109/115(2)/3(5)/324(5)/ 324(6)/326(9)/329(4)/351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re : Ramgobinda Das and others ... Petitioners. Mr. Mrinal Kanti Mukherjee ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Subrata Mukherjee, Ms. Suparna Biswas Majumdar ... For the State. Mr. Arkadyuti Pahari, Ms. Gargi Maity, Mr. Alik Mandi ... For the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been implicated in a false criminal case because of their political identity. It has been submitted that the petitioner no.1 was earlier Panchayat Pradhan and others are members who have been foisted with the present criminal case pursuant to the change in administration. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. Learned advocate appearing for the de facto complainant also opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Prima facie, I find that there are materials to support the contention of setting the house on fire. Having regard to 2 the fact of the present case, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the present petitioners. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2816 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. 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.)
