09.04.2026 Sl. No.70 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M (A) 792 of 2026 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Dadpur PS Case No.69/2026 dated 28.02.2026 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/76/109/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Madhusudan Mukhopadhyay & Ors. … petitioners Mr. S. M. Obaidullah, Mr. Roni Chowdhury. …for the petitioners. Mr. Imran Ali, Mr. Bikram Mitra. …for the State. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. There was a scuffle between neighbours. Injuries were suffered on both sides. But, none was grievous in nature. There are case and counter case. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses and the injury report, which, however, does not show infliction of any grievous injury. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that there are case and counter case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, 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 2 satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and the petitioner nos.1 and 3 shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
