28.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.97 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2824 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Barasat Police Station Case No. 138 of 2026 dated 02.04.2026 (G.R. Case No. 1074/2026). And In Re : Jakir Hossain @ Laltu and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Sekhar Barman, Mr. R. Sinha ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Rajdeep Biswas, Mr. Ravi Ranjan Kumar ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been foisted with the present criminal case on charges of abetment. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the case diary. I have taken into account the post mortem report. The post mortem report does not reflect that there is any grave physical assault inflicted upon the deceased. The doctor’s opinion is that death was due to the effect of ante-mortem hanging. Taking into account the overall circumstances, I am of the view that although case may have been made out, but 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. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1. Jakir Hossain @ Laltu and 2. Sariful @ Riaz Ali 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 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 charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. Report submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2824 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.)
