Rafiqe Ansari And ANR v. State Of West Bengal

19.08.2021 Court No.30 rpan /300 C.R.M. 2461 of 2021 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure;

And In Re : Rafiqe Ansari & Another - Petitioners.

Mr. Pawarn Kumar Gupta, Mr. Sougata Mitra, Ms. Sofia Nesar, Ms. Ankita Dey, Mr. Santanu Sett ... for the petitioners.

Mr. Avik Ghatak ... for the State.

Apprehending arrest in connection with Para Police Station Case 144 of 2020 dated 27.10.2020 under Sections 147/148/447/323/326/307/506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the present application has been preferred.

Mr. Gupta, learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated. There was a previous dispute between the parties. No overt act has been attributed to the petitioners. In view thereof, custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the petitioners' prayer and draws our attention to several documents in the case diary, including the statements of the witnesses, as recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the injury report.

Having heard the learned advocates and considering the materials in the case diary, the injury report, the nature of

allegations and the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged offence, we are not inclined to exercise discretion in their favour.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail, being CRM No.2461 of 2021 is dismissed.

All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Subhasis Dasgupta, J.) (Tapabrata Chakraborty, J.)
