August 31, 2026 (317) ARDR (Allowed) CRM (A) 589 of 2026 In Re : An Application under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kasba Police Station Case No. 499 of 2025 dated 27/10/2025 under Sections 3(5)/61(2)/329(2)/124(1)/124(2)/311/109(2) of the BNS, 2023 read with Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act. And In Re : Sivam Singh ... Petitioner. Adv. Moyukh Mukherjee Adv. Sagnika Banerjee, ... for the petitioner. Adv. Angshuman Chakraborty, Adv. S.S. Saha, …for the de facto complainant. Adv. Brajesh Jha, ... for the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. The present complaint is a fallout of a property dispute between the petitioner’s family and the defacto complainant. Several false complaints have been lodged against the petitioner due to political vendetta since the petitioner’s father was an active member of the earlier dispensation of the opposition. Charge sheet has been submitted. The injuries sustained are not serious. No material has been found in course of investigation to support the allegations raised by the defacto complainant. The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail. Opposing such prayer, learned counsel for the defacto complainant submits that the petitioner has several criminal antecedents and allegedly extorted documents and a bank draft of Rs.40 lakhs on gun point. 2 Learned counsel for the State produces the Case Diary and opposes the prayer. I have perused the material on record. It appears that warrant of arrest has been issued against the petitioner on 24th January, 2026 following which the present application has been filed on 10th February, 2026. Charge sheet has been submitted. The injuries sustained do not appear to be grievous. There is prima facie no trace of alleged acid attack in the injury reports which are part of the Case Diary. No firearm has been recovered from the petitioner. It is a fact that the petitioner has several criminal antecedents. But at the same time, it is submitted on behalf of the State that all the complaints lodged against the petitioner are in connection with political issues. Considering the material on record and also since the charge sheet has been submitted and custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be required, prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed subject to stringent conditions. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner namely Sivam Singh be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. The petitioner shall submit his passport before the learned trial Court and shall not enter the jurisdiction of Alipore Police Station and Kasba Police Station except for appearing before the 3 leqqarned trial Court on every date of hearing. He shall furnish the address where he shall presently reside before the learned Trial Court, the Investigating Officer and the officer in charge of the police station under whose jurisdiction he shall presently reside. He shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. He shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned Court. The petitioner shall appear before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within two weeks from date. In the event the petitioner fails to comply with any of the conditions stated above, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for anticipatory bail is disposed of. Case Diary be returned. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
