10.09.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 493. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 2970 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 Haringhata Police Station Case No. 541 of 2026 dated 23rd August, 2026 under Sections 307/323/325/341/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. And In the matter of : Raju Kureshi ……Petitioner. Mr. Shibaji Kr. Das Mr. Dipendu Sarkar Ms. Deblina De ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Subhajit Chatterjee Ms. Shalu Gupta ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been foisted with a criminal case pursuant to change of administration. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the facts of the case wherein the incident complained of goes back to the year 2021. Having considered the same, I am of the view that custodial detention of the present petitioner may not be warranted in the facts of the case. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. 2 As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Raju Kureshi 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 the investigation of the case is in progress petitioner shall report to the investigating officer within a period of 10 days and thereafter on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 2970 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
