07.10.2026 18 Ct. No. 37 S.D. Allowed C.R.M.(A) 3232 of 2026 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Netaji Nagar Police Station Case No. 93 of 2026 dated 25.05.2026 under Sections 106(1)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 with added Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 pending before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Alipore, South 24 Parganas. And In Re : Susmita Chakraborty ...… petitioner Mr. Sekhar Kumar Basu, Sr. Adv., Mr. Debapriya Samanta Mr. Samrat Ghosh Mr. Suhotro Palit Mr. Akash Kumar Chakraborty Mr. Raktim Siddhanta Mr. Sayan Mukherjee …for the petitioner Mr. Kallol Mondal, Ld. P.P., Mr. Sayak Chakraborty Mr. Radheshyam Tiwari …for the State Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail. Petitioner is the principal of a school. In such school, an unfortunate accident occurred. A student of such school fell down from the staircase, sustained injuries and expired after 12 days from the date of the incident. Other co-accused were afforded anticipatory bail. Prayer for anticipatory bail is being opposed on behalf of the State. 2 Considering the nature of the incident and the involvement of the petitioner as narrated above, I deem it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, I direct that 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, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the B.N.S.S., 2023. The petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation till the completion of the investigation. The petitioner shall appear on every date before the Jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) SUROJIT DAS Digitally signed by SUROJIT DAS Date: 2026.10.07 17:25:10 +05'30'
