And In the matter of: Pintu Das & Anr.

....petitioners.

Mr. Asraf Mondal, Advocate Ms. Sanjana Saha, Advocate Mr. Tanbir Mandal, Advocate ...for the petitioners.

Ms. Sayanti Santra, Advocate Ms. Sonali Bhar, Advocate ... for the State.

1. Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

2. None appears for the de facto complainant despite service.

3. We perused the statement of the injured recorded under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 as also the injury report of such person.

4. The injury report of the person does not speak about any stupefying material being administered to the injured as claimed in her statement under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

5. Victim suffered injury on the eye from an assault. Even whether the injury was caused by an assault is debatable given the nature of the injury report.

6. In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

7. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the

petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on condition that the petitioners will report before the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

8. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

9. C.R.M. (A) 993 of 2025 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
