AD 26 February 26, 2026 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 496 of 2026 Reject An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Kotwali P.S. Case No.14 of 2026 dated 05.01.2026 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/118(2)/109(1)/303(2) /351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Sanjay Samanta … petitioner Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati Ms. Swastika Chowdhury Ms. Ilika Nag Mr. Avijit Chatterjee … for the petitioner Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharyya Mr. Samarjit Balial … for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He stays elsewhere, and there is a doubt as to whether he was identified by the victim. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail, relies on the statements of the victim and other witnesses and the injury reports. One of them shows infliction of injury on vital parts of the body, like head which required stitches to repair, a lacerated injury over the cheek, and assault on the parieto-occipital region on another victim. The prosecution case is that the petitioner intercepted the victim on his motorbike and tried to commit robbery. He also assaulted the victim mercilessly. From the statements 2 of the villagers, it appears that the petitioner is a local rowdy who goes on committing such illegal acts. Considering the above and the other incriminating materials available in the case diary, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
