07.09.2026 Court No.35. M/L. 120. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 986 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Keshiary PS Case No. 78/2025 dated 14.04.2025 under Section 332(b)/118(1)/117(2)/70(1)/75/76/303(2)/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of : Hisi Soren & Ors. ……Petitioners. Mr. Tushar Kanti Har Mr. Avra Mukherjee Mr. Somnath Chakraborty Mr. Arpayan Mukherjee ……for the Petitioners. Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati Ms. Swastika Chowdhury Ms. Ilika Nag Mr. Avijit Chatterjee ….for the defacto complainant. Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharya, APP Mr. Somnath Adhikary ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits petitioners have been foisted with the present criminal case because of property dispute. Learned advocate for the defacto complainant submits that there were offences under Section 70(1) of the BNS which was at the behest of the present petitioners. 2 Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the statement under Section 183 of the BNSS and assessed regarding the complicity of the accused persons. After taking the same into consideration, I am of the view that custodial detention of the present petitioners are uncalled for in the present case. As such prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners namely, (1) Hisi Soren, (2) Sujata Murmu, (3) Sohagi Saren, (4) Salma Tudu, (5) Malabati Saren, (6) Bablu @ Rabilochan Mandi be released on bail subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As charge sheet has already been submitted, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of 6 weeks. Accordingly, CRM (A) 986 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
