21.04.2026 Sl. No.53 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M (A) 726 of 2026 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Kaliganj PS Case No.538/2025 dated 26.06.2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/118(2)/74/304(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Kasem Sk @ Abul Kasem Sekh ... petitioner Mr. Dipanjan Chatterjee, Ms. Kakan Das, Ms. Rimpa Adhikari, Ms. Anindita Kundu.
...for the petitioner.
Mr. Md. Adil Badr, Ms. Srilekha Chattopadhyay.
..for the State.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. The principal accused was arrested and thereafter granted bail. Some other co-accused, standing on the same footing, have been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Court. Charge sheet has been submitted.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statement of the victim and the statements of other witnesses. He also relies on the medical reports.
Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the fact that the principal accused was arrested and thereafter granted bail and the fact that charge sheet has already
been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner.
Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and the shall regularly attend the jurisdictional Court. 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.
