08.10.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.242 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 3162 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed in connection with Serampore Police Station Case No. 504 of 2026 dated 02.09.2026 under Sections 109/115(2)/118(1)/118(2)/126(2)/127(2)/132/ 190/191(2)/191(3)/221/324(4)/351(2)/351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 2483/2026). And In Re : Zahid Hasan Khan and others ... Petitioners. Mr. Sirsanya Bandopadhyay, Mr. Rahul Kumar Singh, Mr. Md. Danish Farooqui ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Kallol Mondal, Ld. PP, Mr. Sayak Chakraborti, Mr. Aditya Tiwari, Mr. Anamitra Banerjee ... For the State. Mr. Dhiraj Trivedi, Ld. ASG, Mr. Bhaskar Prosad Banerjee ... For the N.I.A. Learned advocate appearing for the National Investigating Agency has submitted a report. Although it has been submitted that further investigation may be proceeded, but for the present the report do not reflect any incriminating materials which were collected when the petitioner no.1 and petitioner no.6 were interrogated by the investigating agency. Having considered that the information which has been furnished relates back to the year 2020, I am of the 2 opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioners in connection with the instant case is unwarranted in the facts and circumstances of the case. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners viz., 1. Zahid Hasan Khan, 2. Abishek Pramanick, 3. Surojit Chatterjee, 4. Supratim Dey, 5. Debasish Bhattacharjee, 6. Shahid Hasan Khan, 7. Subir Kumar Ghosh, 8. Ashim Pandit, 9. Gour Mohan Dey, 10. Milan Kumar Mukherjee, 11. Jai Nath Jha and 12. Akbar Ali shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper 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 Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioners shall report to the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days from date and thereafter on all subsequent dates fixed by the Investigating Officer, if required for the sake of investigation, till the report in final form is submitted before the jurisdictional court. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 3162 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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.
