26/02/2026 D/L – 15 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 464 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Shibpur P.S case no. 197 of 25 dated 10/5/2025 under sections 329(4)/117(2)/118(1)/110/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS. In the matter of: Sk. Aftab @ Rana ...Petitioner. Mr. Akashdeep Mukherjee Mr. Soumyadeed Nag Mr. Satyam Pandey …for the petitioner. Mr. Pravas Bhattacharyya Ms. Jonaki Saha …for the State. 1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that there was an altercation between brothers which led to the case and counter case. The present FIR was lodged after about a month from the alleged date of occurrence. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statements of witnesses including that of the victim and the injury report which however, does not show infliction of any grievous injury. 3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, 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. 4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two 2 sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O once a week till submission of report in final form. 5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
