24.09.2026 Court No.35. D/L.591. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (A) 3044 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Jorabagan Police Station case no. 0034 of 2026 dated 19.03.2026 under Sections 316(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of : Mehboob ……Petitioner. Ms. Anju Manot Ms. Anusua Das ......for the Petitioner. Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, Ld. APP Mr. Amal Kumar Datta Mr. Sayan Sachin Basu ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that there was business transactions between the petitioner and for non- payment the present case has been instituted. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the materials collected by the investigating agency and having regard to the detention under which the investigating is being carried out, I am of the opinion that custodial detention is unwarranted. As such, prayer for bail of the petitioner namely, Mehboob is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal 2 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 report to the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days and thereafter, on all subsequent dates fixed by the Investigating Officer of the case for the sake of investigation till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 3044 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence submitted by the State 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.)
