15.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.M/L.188 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2756 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Nalhati Police Station Case No. 398 of 2026 dated 28.07.2026 under Sections 109/115(2)/117(2)/118(2)/ 126(2)/299/3(5)/351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 2018/2026). And In Re : Imam Hossain ... Petitioner. Mr. Prosenjit Mukherjee ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Lokesh Sharma, Mr. Anurag Sardar ... For the State. Mr. Bitasok Banerjee, Ms. Debangana Bhattacharya ... For the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been implicated in connection with the instant case out of grudge and rivalry. Learned advocate appearing for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail because of the overt acts of the present petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State 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 number of abrasions. Having considered the same and there is bad blood existing between the petitioner and 2 the de facto complainant, 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., Imam Hossain 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 investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner shall stay outside the jurisdiction of Nalhati Police Station and shall enter the police station only for the purposes of meeting the Investigating Officer of the case once a week till the charge-sheet 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) 2756 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. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
