25.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.20 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (A) 3279 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Domjur Police Station Case No. 667 of 2026 dated 21.08.2026 under Sections 318(1)/316(2)/336(1)/340(2)/341/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re : Dibyendu Chatterjee ... Petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Halder, Mr. Swadesh Misra, Ms. Madhurima Basu, Mr. Debabrata Halder, Ms. Pritha Chatterjee ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Kallol Mondal, Ld. PP., Mr. L. Vishal Kumar, Mr. Sanjib DAs ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent, although the petitioner was a panchayat member, but he was not in a position to take a decision in respect of either disbursements or the accountability in respect of the tenders or jobs which are being conducted in respect of the tenders issued by the Government. Learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and refers to the relevant documents relating to allotment of tender as well as disbursements which have been made and 2 the principal accusation being that the purpose for which the tender was called, the job at all was not done. Having considered that in some of the documents, the signature of the petitioner is appearing, I am of the opinion that at this stage it is not possible for this Court to hold in favour of the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. The interim order, if any, is hereby vacated. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 3279 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. 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.)
