01.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.853 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2868 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed in connection with Harishchandrapur Police Station Case No. 610 of 2026 dated 02.06.2026 under Sections 406/420/120B of the Indian Penal Code (G.R. Case No. 1865/2026). And In Re : Taimur Rahaman ... Petitioner. Mr. Moyukh Mukherjee, Ms. Sagnika Banerjee, Ms. Sarmistha Basak ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Gurudas Mitra, Mr. Utsav Dutta ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been implicated in connection with the instant case because of change of administration and the accusations which have been made relate back to the year 2019. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that there were certain amount of money which was transmitted by way of bank transfer. I have taken into account the materials appearing in the case diary and I do not find that bank has till date responded. The allegations are for alleged offences which may extend up to seven years. Having considered the same, I 2 am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Taimur Rahaman 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 investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner, within a period of ten days from date, shall make himself available before the Investigating Officer of the case and thereafter, the Investigating Officer of the case, if required, would fix subsequent dates for presence of the petitioner for the sake of investigation till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional court. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2868 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. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
