21.09.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 20. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 2982 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 Matia Police Station Case No. 325 of 2026 dated 25.06.2026 under Sections 115(2)/223/74/351(2)/303(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of : Dibakar Sarkar ……Petitioner. Mr. Biswajit Roy Mr. Kaushik Chaudhury Mr. Dwaipayan Panda Ms. Shreya Hazra ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Aditya Tiwari Ms. Namrata Chatterjee ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that he has been falsely implicated in the present case. State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submitted that the petitioner along with his associates have flexed muscles, assaulted her near the pond and forcefully grabbed fish worth more than Rs. 7 Lakhs along with other misdeeds. 2 I have taken into account the nature of the accusations and I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Dibakar Sarkar, 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 on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 2982 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted be kept with the record. 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.)
