And In the matter of: Bapi Mandal & another. …. Petitioners. Mr. Ali Ahsan Alamgir Ms. Rabia Khatoon Ms. Soma Mal Mr. J. Modak Mr. Debarpan Bose …for the petitioners Dr. Achin Jana Mr. Prosenjit Ghosh ..for the State Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been portrayed to have aided the principal accused. Learned advocate appearing for the State has produced the case diary and drawn the attention of the Court to the materials available therein. I have taken into account the role of the present petitioners as well as the statements of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS. Although the medico legal examination is adverse in the present case but so far as the present petitioners are concerned, they have no issue relating to the medico legal examination. Having regard to the same, I am inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., Bapi Mandal and Ajoy Mandal shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of 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 charge sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional Court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. 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) 2628 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.)
