(A) 531 of 2025 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with English Bazar Police Station Case No. 999 of dated 29.06.2023 under Sections 379/436/448/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

In Re: Sk. Jahangir & Ors.

... ... Petitioners Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee, Mr. Debapriya Majumder, Mr. Tusar Hazra, Mr. Arindam Poali.

... ... for the Petitioners Mr. Suman Dey, Mr. Tirthankar Dhali.

... ... for the State 1.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record. Though it is alleged houses were burnt, no one was injured. Co-accused have been granted pre-arrest bail. Petitioners contend they were always available at their residence but had not been arrested. 3.

Under such circumstances, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

4.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. They shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

5.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth , J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : ALOK SETH High Court of Calcutta 19 th of February 2025 05:17:10 PM
