07.10.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 19. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (A) 3633 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 Kharagpur Local PS Case No. 651 dated 23.07.2026 under section 316(2)/318(2)/351(2)/3(5) of BNS, 2023. And In the matter of : Sarbajit Choudhury @ Sarbajit Chowdhury ……Petitioner. Mr. Kallol Kumar Basu Mr. Anindya Sundar Das Mr. Supriyo Das Mr. Jannat Ul Firdous Mr. Rajsekhar Hota Ms. Paramita Mondal Ms. Shabnam Yeasmin ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Subrata Mukherjee Ms. Shalini Bairagi ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner and his father was foisted with the criminal case after change in administration. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that the present case is alluring the informant for providing job in a private concern. 2 I have taken into account the fact that the other accused, namely, Partha Choudhury was arrested and was granted bail. Having considered the fact of the case and the time period for which the information was furnished, I am of the opinion custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Sarbajit Choudhury @ Sarbajit Chowdhury 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. Petitioner shall make himself available within a period of 10 days and on all subsequent dates fixed by the investigating officer till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 3633 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. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
