17/04/2026 D/L – 14 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 1082 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Dhantala P.S case no. 128 of 2026 dated 25/02/2026 under Sections 64(1)/351(3) of the BNS. In the matter of: Ranajit Mondal ...Petitioner. Mr. Samrat Paul …for the petitioner. Mr. Sayantan Hazra Mr. Emrul …for the de-facto complainant. Mr. Imran Ali Ms. Debarshi Brahma …for the State. 1. Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record. 2. Report filed on behalf of the State is also taken on record. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the 45 year old victim wanted to marry the 29 year old petitioner. As he refused to marry her, the present case was started. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the de-facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the State also opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate. However, he submits that the alleged victim refused to undergo medical examination. 2 6. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that the victim refused to undergo the medical examination, I do not think that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each 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 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 fortnight till submission of report in final form. 8. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed. 9. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
