29.09.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 46. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 3087 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Chakulia Police Station Case No. 51 of 2026 dated 14.02.2026 under Section 318/335/345/349 of BNS, 2023 read with Section 7(1)(ii) of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. And In the matter of : Jahangir Alam ……Petitioner. Mr. Amit Roy ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Pritam Roy Mr. Neel Chakraborty ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that because of business rivalry he has been foisted with the present criminal case. State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail because the search and seizure were effected from the godown of the present petitioner. Be that as it may, since the search and seizure has already been completed petitioner be granted the benefit of anticipatory bail on stringent conditions. 2 As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Jahangir Alam be released on bail subject to the satisfaction of the investigating officer/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. Additionally petitioner will report to the investigating officer once a week till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 3087 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted 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.)
