11.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.M/L.146 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2565 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Uluberia Police Station Case No. 385 of 2026 dated 15.06.2026 under Sections 420/406/384/120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (G.R. Case No. 1801/2026). And In Re : Bablu Dhara and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Kunal Ganguly, Mr. Subhodip Maity ... For the Petitioners. Ms. Sreshtha Ghosh, Ms. Sanjana Jha ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been foisted in connection with the instant case pursuant to change in administration. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I find from the information which was furnished to the police authorities that the accusations relate back to the year 2020-2021. Having considered the same, I am of the opinion that although a case for investigation may have been made out, but custodial detention of the present petitioners in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1. Bablu Dhara and 2. Rama Dhara shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and 2 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 no.1 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. The petitioner no.2 shall make herself available as and when called for by the Investigating Officer of the case for the sake of investigation. 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) 2565 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.)
