19.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 593. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 2596 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Raniganj Police Station Case No. 249 of 2026 dated 26.06.2026 under Sections 109/118(2)/126(2)/351(3)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of : Binod Kumar Nonia ……Petitioner. Mr. Suman De Mr. Dip Dutta ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Lokesh Sharma Mr. Sayan Mukherjee ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been implicated because of political rivalry. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that the eye of the victim was attacked by the accused and the victim being an advocate sustained injuries. Case diary was produced. I have taken into account the injury report as well as the statement of the injured. The statement of the injured, prima facie, reflects complicity of another accused namely, Rajesh Mahato. So far as the present 2 petitioner is concerned, his name has been referred but not connected with the present incident which has taken place. Having considered the same, I am of the view that custodial detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner namely, Binod Kumar Nonia be released on bail subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is in progress, petitioner shall report to the investigating officer within a period of 10 days and on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer for the purpose of investigation. Accordingly, CRM (A) 2596 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted 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. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
