08.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.489 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2927 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kalyani Police Station Case No. 843 of 2026 dated 24.07.2026 under Sections 126(2)/75/115(2)/ 117(2)/74/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 843/2026). And In Re : Guruchand Gain ... Petitioner. Mr. Shibaji Kumar Das, Ms. Maitrayee Das ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury, Mr. Sayan Mukherjee ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that there was a dispute between the employer and the employee pursuant to which the present case has been initiated. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and draws the attention of the Court to the injury report. I have taken into account the injury report which reflects that the sexual harassment was at the instance of another accused. Having considered the same, I 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., Guruchand Gain shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of 2 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 shall report to the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days from date and thereafter on all subsequent dates fixed by the Investigating Officer, if required 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) 2927 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. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
