08.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No.34 ssi CRM (A) 1073 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with N.T.S. Police Station Case No.136 dated 06.11.2025 under Sections 318(4)/336(3)/338/340(2)/61(2) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Sri Pradip Paramanik. …. Petitioner Mr. Subrata Bhattacharjya …for the petitioner Ms. Rituparna De Ghose Mr. Kaustav Banerjee ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. In fact, there is hardly any allegation against him as would be evident from a plain reading of the First Information Report. The petitioner was only present at the time of execution of a land deal between the husband of the de facto complainant and the other accused. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She submits that the petitioner was the broker for a land deal. At the time of execution of the deed, the petitioner acted as the identifier of the seller as well as a witness. Although the deed was executed and the consideration money was paid after three years, it was subsequently found that the property had already been mortgaged by the seller to a bank. It appears that the persons, who had allegedly sold the property without disclosing about the mortgage, are not before this Court. 2 Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 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, 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 petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
