(A) 1338 of 2022 22.03.2022 Sl. 36 Court No.29 sourav (Rejected) In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 15.03.2022 in connection with Gangarampur P. S. Case No. 211 of 2019 dated 08.06.2019 under Sections 143 / 147/ 148/ 149/ 186/ 188/ 332/ 353/ 325/ 326/ 307 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 3 of PDPP Act, read with Section 8B of the National Highway Act and Section 9 of the MPO Act.

And In the matter of: Kanai Biswas & Ors.

....petitioners.

Mr. Rishab Sethi ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Rudradipta Nandy ...for the State.

Petitioners renew the prayer for anticipatory bail. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the police filed charge-sheet and, therefore, further detention of the petitioners are not required.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. He submits that the petitioners were involved in blocking a National Highway and burning the vehicles thereon. The petitioners were also involved in assaulting the police personnel.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the fact that there is hardly any material change in circumstances subsequent to the earlier order of rejection, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.

C.R.M. (A) 1338 of 2022 is, thus, dismissed.
