Abhijit Singha @ Avijit Singha And Others v. State Of West Bengal

17.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No. 65 tbsr CRM (A) 842 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Suti P.S. Case No.150 of dated 27.03.2023 under Sections 186/153A/295A/296/325/353/333/338 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of: Abhijit Singha @ Avijit Singha & Ors. ....Petitioners.

Mr. Debapriya Samanta Mr. Suhotro Palit Mr. Sabyasachi Howlader Mr. Akash Kumar Chakraborty Mr. Raktim Siddhanta ...for the petitioners.

Md. Anwar Hossain Mr. Soumyadip Saha ....for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioner no. 2 has already been arrested. As such, the application for anticipatory bail is not pressed so far as he is concerned.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is dismissed as not pressed so far as the petitioner no. 2 is concerned. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners had organized a religious procession. It is alleged that, suddenly certain people attacked them and pelted stones and bricks bats. However, no complainant was filed by the petitioners in this regard. Instead, the police suo motu filed a complaint against the present petitioners. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses and the injury reports which, however, do not show infliction of any grievous injury.

Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner Nos. 1, 3 and 4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner Nos. 1, 3 and 4 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 the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner Nos. 1, 3 and 4 shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court within four weeks from this date and pray for bail and shall regularly attend the jurisdictional Court and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. 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.
