05.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.30 ssi CRM (A) 19 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Basudebpur Police Station Case No.329 of 2025 dated 12.11.2025 under Sections 109(1)/115(2)/117(2)/126(2)/3(5)/303(2) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Deep Das & others. …. Petitioners. Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr.Avik Ghosh Mr. Priyam Biswas …for the petitioners Mr. Prasun Kumar Dutta, Ld. APP Ms. Snigdha Saha ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners were having a meal at a restaurant. When the de facto complainant’s side started teasing a female member and passing remarks, it led to a scuffle. Both sides suffered injuries, but none was grievous in nature. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the injury report and the case diaries of both the cases. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that there are case and counter case, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. 2 In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each 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 petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
