Jeetandra Manna And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

10/03/2026 D/L - 39 Court No.28 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(A) 602 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Durgachak P.S FIR no. 40 of 2026 dated 29/01/2026 under sections 3(5)/316(3)/318(4)/and 61(2) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Jeetendra Manna & Anr.

...Petitioners.

Mr. Saptarshi Majumder Ms. Soumili Paul ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Sanjay Banerjee Mr. Sobham Gani ...for the State.

1. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. In any event, the matter has been settled between the de-facto complainant and the accused.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State files a report, which is taken on record. He relies on the report and submits that during investigation a settlement appears to have been arrived at between the parties. He refers to the notarized agreement present at page 46 of the case diary.

3. Considering the above and the materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall meet the I.O once a fortnight 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.
