(A) 2447 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with G.R. Case No.1247 of 2026 arising out of Purulia (T) Police Station Case No.184 of 2026 dated 04.07.2026 under Sections 69/351(2) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of: Sampad Pathak ….petitioner. Mr. Pawan Kumar Gupta Mr. Sougata Maitra Ms. Sofia Nesar Mr. Santanu Sett Mr. Nikhil Kumar Gupta Mr. Sudhadeep Moitra …for the petitioner. Mr. Rajdeep Biswas Mr. Arka Mukherjee … for the State. 1. None appears for the defacto complainant despite service. 2. It is submitted by the learned advocate for the petitioner that the petitioner is aged about 28 years whereas the victim is aged about 34 years. He further submits that the victim and the petitioner were in a relationship for a long time. There was consensual physical relationship in between the petitioner and the victim. Accordingly, he prays for anticipatory bail. 3. On the other hand, learned advocate for the State relies upon the materials in the case diary. He refers to statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS. It is submitted by the learned advocate for the State that the petitioner had physical relations with the victim with a promise to marry which he did not carry out. 4. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for 2 anticipatory bail. 5. I have considered the rival contentions of the parties and upon perusal of the materials in the case diary, it transpires that as per the FIR, the petitioner and the victim were in a relationship. They had physical relationship, out of which the victim is presently carrying for six months. 6. Learned advocate for the petitioner also points out that the victim is a married lady and her divorce proceeding with her husband is pending. 7. The statement recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS also discloses prolonged relationship between the victim and the defacto complainant. 8. The instant case was initiated as the petitioner allegedly refused to marry the victim. The victim happens to be a married lady and divorce proceeding with her husband is still pending. 9. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is allowed. 10. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on condition that the petitioner will report before the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and 3 from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. 11. C.R.M. (A) 2447 of 2026 is, thus, disposed of. (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
