25.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.18 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2856 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Arambagh Police Station Case No. 370 of 2026 dated 18.07.2026 under Sections 3(5)/308(5)/316(2)/ 318(4)/351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act, 1959 (G.R. Case No. 1456/2026). And In Re : Sk. Abdul Sabir @ Sk. Sabir Ali ... Petitioner. Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee, Mrs. Suchismita Chakraborty, Mr. Debarnab Adhikary ... For the Petitioner. Mr. L. Vishal Kumar, Mr. Sanjib Das ... For the State. Mr. Indradip Das, Mr. Anurag Sardar ... For the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner in due course of time has repaid Rs.1.25 crores. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that initially the dues were to the tune of Rs.1.45 crores. The same thereafter scaled down to Rs.1.36 crores and the records reflect that Rs.1.25 crores has till date been refunded by the petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the de facto complainant submits that because of the act and actions of the present petitioner, financially the Co-operative has 2 suffered immensely. There is financial loss of the Co- operative and the petitioner by his allurement and deception has created wrongful loss to the Co-operative which accepts money from the poor people. I have taken into account the overall facts of the case and having regard to the stand of the State, I am of the opinion that although a case has been made out, but 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., Sk. Abdul Sabir @ Sk. Sabir Ali 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 meet the Investigating Officer of the case once in every ten days and on all dates decided by the Investigating Officer for the sake of investigation till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional court. Any violation of the aforesaid conditions should be informed to the jurisdictional court and under such circumstances, the order passed above, will be deemed to have been cancelled. Report submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. 3 The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2856 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.)
