12.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.10 ssi CRM (A) 4000 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Aushgram Police Station Case No.442 of 2024 dated 21.12.2024 under Sections 316 (4)/318(4)/61(2) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Krishna Majumdar. …. Petitioner. Mr. S. Balial Ms. Sulagna Sen Mr. D. Chatterjee …for the petitioner Mr. Antarikhya Basu Ms. Srilekha Chattopadhyay ..for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that the petitioner had given a demand draft for the amount drawn in favour of the victim without prejudice and deposited the same with the Investigating Officer. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that without prejudice, the said demand draft may be supplied to the payee by the Investigating Officer at the earliest. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State further submits that the same would be done in due course. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 2 Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer 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 BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
