27.08.2026 Sl. No.27 Ct. 446/tkm C. R. M. (A) 2340 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Baduria Police Station Case No.231 of 2026 dated 18.05.2026 under sections 329(3)/118(2)/109/351(2)/3(5) of BNSS 2023 And In Re: Golam Nabi Mandal … … Petitioner Allowed Mr. Kallal Kr. Basu Mr. Jamat Ul Firdous Ms. Pramita Banerjee … … for the petitioner Mr. Suman Agarwal … … for the State 1. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Some of the co- accused persons are on bail. In such circumstances, according to him, the benefit under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended in favour of the petitioner. 2. Learned Advocate for the State produces the case diary, memo of evidence and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 3. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the respective parties and perused the materials in the case diary, including the injury report. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and, on further consideration that the incident allegedly occurred in the presence of direct evidence, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and that the privilege under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended in favour of the petitioner. 4. Accordingly, I direct that, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- 2 (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM Basirhat, North 24 Pgs. and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023. 5. The application being CRM (A) 2340 of 2026 is disposed of. (Partha Sarathi Chatterjee, J.)
