26/02/2026 D/L – 52 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 522 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Beldanga P.S case no. 652 of 2025 dated 13/9/25 under sections 115(2)/303(2)/318(4)/329(4) of the BNS. In the matter of: Shamim Akhtar ...Petitioner. Mr. Md. Golam Nure Imrohi Mr. Partha Pratim Sinha …for the petitioner. Mr. Sanjoy bardhan Ms. Pritha Paul …for the State. 1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the son-in-law of the de-facto complainant. There was a delay of 25 days in lodging the FIR. It is alleged that the petitioner had fraudulently got a property of the victim registered in his name. He also took money, which he did not return. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on a statement of a neighbour, according to which the petitioner had also taken money from the aged de-facto complainant for giving her a job in the Railways. However, the case diary does not contain any document in this regard. It does not even contain the papers regarding the transfer of the property. 3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, although I am inclined to grant 2 anticipatory bail to the petitioner/son-in/law his movement needs to remain restricted for a limited period. 4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O once a week till submission of report in final form. The petitioner shall stay beyond the jurisdiction of Beldanga Police Station for a period of four months, except for meeting the I.O or attending the jurisdictional Court. 5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
