... ... Petitioners Mr. A K Bhowmick ... ... for the petitioners Ms. Manisha Sharma Mr. Nirupam Dhali ... ... for the State

1. Petitioners submit there was a skirmish between the parties over a land dispute. They pray for anticipatory bail.

2. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer.

3. We have considered the materials on record. Incident occurred in course of a skirmish which broke out between the parties. Injury report shows injuries on a vital part of the body i.e. scalp but nothing is placed on record to show that injuries are grievous or life threatening.

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

5. Accordingly, we direct that 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, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under section 482(2) of BNSS 2023.

6. Petitioners shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

7. The application being CRM (A) 761 of 2025 is disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
