22.09.2026 Serial no. 33 [G.S.Das] Assistant Registrar (Court) CRM (A) 3022 of 2026 In re : An Application under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023/under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. in connection with Hogolberia PS Case No. 183 of 2026 dated 09.08.2026 u/s 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act. -And- In the matter of : Gour Mondal @ Gour &Ors. … Petitioner(s) Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Mr. Abdul Aziz Mondal … for the petitioner(s) Mr. L. Vishal Kumr Mr. Sanjib Das … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been foisted with the present criminal case without any materials being available against them. State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. The specific issues were confronted to the learned advocate for the State relating to the antecedents, availability of the CDR and/or the money trail so far as the present petitioners are concerned. Learned advocate for the State, to that effect, submits that so far as the Memo of evidence and the case diary is concerned, such materials are absent against the 2 three petitioners. It was also specifically confronted as to whether the name of the petitioners has been surfaced from any other witnesses except the statement of the co-accused. Learned advocate for the State upon scanning the case diary submits that till date only the statement of co- accused is available so far as the present petitioners is concerned. Having regard to the same, I am of the view that the petitioners are entitled to get the benefit of anticipatory bail. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is Allowed. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners [Gour Mondal @ Gour, Biman Mistri, Paritosh Biswas] be released on anticipatory bail subject to the satisfaction of the 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 still in progress, the petitioners shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days from date and, thereafter, on all subsequent dates as would be fixed by the Investigating Officer of the case for the sake of investigation till the report in final form is submitted before the learned jurisdictional court. 3 Accordingly, CRM (A) 3022 of 2026 is disposed of. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
