17.09.2026 Sl. No. - 7 Court No.35 Rohan (Allowed) IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE C.R.M.(A) 2943 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Hanskhali Police Station Case No. 282 of 2026 dated 22.03.2026 for the offences punishable under Sections 329(4)/115(2)/76/304(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. -And- In the matter of: Kamal Kanjilal @ Kamalesh Kanjilal & Ors. …Petitioners Mr. Santanu Talukdar Mr. Priyankar Ganguly Ms. Pipasa Chakraborty …for the Petitioners Ms. Soma Mishra Chatterjee Mr. Bikash Kr. Singh …for the State 1. Affidavit of service submitted be kept with the record. 2. Learned advocate for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been foisted with the present case because of previous grudge. 3. Learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary. 4. I have taken into account the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS. The facts of the case, as has been portrayed in the case diary, are very abstract and cryptic. The petitioners are all of different age and they have been implicated on the basis of a common statement. 2 5. Having considered the same and absence of motive in the present case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioners. 6. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners, namely, Kamal Kanjilal @ Kamalesh Kanjilal, Gopinath Kanjilal @ Gopi Kanjilal, Santanu Kanjilal @ Shantunu Kanjilal and Bittu Kanjilal is allowed. 7. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners be released on bail by the Investigating Officer/Arresting Officer of the case on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper. This would be subject to the conditions under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 8. Since charge-sheet has already been submitted before the learned Jurisdictional Court, this order of anticipatory bail would be valid for a period of six weeks. 9. With the aforesaid observation, C.R.M. (A) 2943 of 2026 is disposed of. 10. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record. 11. All parties shall act in terms of the server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. 12. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
