31.08.2026 Sl. No. 20 Ct. No. 446 SG [ALLOWED] C. R. M. (A) 2286 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Tamluk Police Station Case No. 423/2026 dated 12.06.2026 under Sections 329(4)/ 115(2)/ 117(2)/ 110/ 351(2)/ 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re: Gopal Bera & Anr. … … Petitioners Mr. Tapodip Gupta, Mr. Suman Bhanja, Mr. Golam Ahammed. … for the petitioners Mr. Kaustav Manna, Mr. Sanjib Das. … for the State 1. Mr. Gupta, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners, submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case out of personal grudge. He prays for pre-arrest bail for the petitioners. 2. Mr. Manna, learned Advocate appearing for the State, produces the case diary and memorandum of evidence and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 3. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the respective parties and perused the case diary and other materials, including the injury report. Considering the nature of the injuries as reflected in the injury report and the fact that the incident allegedly occurred in the presence of direct evidence, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary. 4. In view of the above, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. 5. Accordingly, I direct that, in the event of arrest, the petitioners, viz. (1) Gopal Bera and (2) Pradip Bera @ Pradip Chandra Bera 2 be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the learned Sessions Judge, Purba Medinipur at Tamluk and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on further condition petitioner shall meet the investigating officer once in a fortnight until submission of charge- sheet. 6. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Partha Sarathi Chatterjee, J.)
