17.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No. 68 tbsr Partly Allowed CRM (A) 847 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Chandipur P.S. Case No.420 of 2025 dated 13.11.2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/109/329(3)/74/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Nirmal Ghorai & Ors. ….Petitioners. Mr. Amit Ranjan Roy ….for the petitioners Mr. Saibal Bapuli, ld. APP Ms. Sana Naaz ….for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. There was a fight between family members. All and sundry in the petitioners’ family have been named as accused. Charge sheet has been submitted. Learned APP appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the injury report, which shows infliction of grievous injury. He also refers to the FIR and the statements of witnesses. It appears from the FIR that although specific roles were ascribed to the petitioner nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5, no specific role has been ascribed, at least in the FIR, against the petitioner no. 4. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners, while I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner no. 4, the 2 application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner nos. 1 (Nirmal Ghorai), 2 (Sunil Ghorai), 3 (Bishnupada Hait) and 5 (Surya Ghorai @ Subrata Ghoari) is rejected. In the event of arrest, the petitioner no. 4 (Karna Ghorai), 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 condition that the petitioner No. 4 shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses, shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly. 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.)
