M/L93 07.09.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 841 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Khanakul Police Station Case No.649 of 2025 dated 14.09.2025 under Sections 109/115(2)/117(2)/126(2)/3(5)/303(2)/351(3)/352/76 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Tapan Das & Anr. Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury. …for the petitioners. Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das Mr. Sunil Gupta. …for the State. Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, learned Additional Public Prosecutor along with Mr. Sunil Gupta, learned advocate, appears on behalf of the State. Their appointment may be regularized by the concerned authorities. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case. State has produced the case diary. I find that there are injuries of swelling at the forehead and abrasion at the lower lip. The injuries, according to the doctor, are simple. Having considered the same and the fact that charge- 2 sheet has already been submitted, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioners are not warranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners are allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners, namely, Tapan Das and Rudra Das @ Rodra Das shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, the order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. Accordingly, CRM(A) 841 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
