10.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No.69 ssi CRM (A) 833 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Debra Police Station Case No. 391 of 2025 dated 13.06.2025 under Sections 329 (4), 64 (1), 351 (2) and 3 (5) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Sanjay Patra @ Sanjoy Patra & others. …. Petitioners Mr. Navanil De Mr. Srinjan Ghosh …for the petitioners Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Ms. Madhurai Sinha Ms. Upasana Banerjee …for the de facto Ms. Sreyashee Biswas Ms. Sima Biswas …for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the de facto complainant submits that the petitioners’ application for anticipatory bail had earlier been rejected by this Court on 12.09.2025 in CRM (A) 2913 of 2025. By suppressing this, the present application has been filed. In fact, one of the petitioners namely, Karttik Manna has filed another application for anticipatory bail in respect of the same case being CRM (A) 697 of 2026. It is indeed very surprising that the Investigating Agency has not been able to apprehend the petitioners and even after rejection of anticipatory bail by this Court, the petitioners are moving one application for anticipatory bail after another without disclosing the rejection of the earlier application for anticipatory bail. 2 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the de facto complainant files a copy of the complaint filed by the alleged victim that the petitioners and other accused had been threatening the victim all this long. The anticipatory bail application is dismissed as not maintainable. For the above referred non-disclosure, each of the present petitioners shall pay a cost of Rs. 10,000/- to the State Legal Services Authorities within fortnight from this date. Within a week thereafter, the petitioners shall file a receipt for such payment before the Registrar General, High Court at Calcutta. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Superintendent of Police, Paschim Medinipur for necessary action. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
