Asish Payra @ Asish Kumar Parida v. State Of West Bengal

31.03.2023 Ct. No. 29 CHC Rejected C.R.M.(A) 1334 of 2023 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Dantan Police Station Case No. 522 of 2022 dated 26.12.2022 under Sections 292/354C/506/509 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, read with Sections 66(E)/67 of the Information Technologies Act.

And In the matter of : Asish Payra @ Asish Kumar Parida ...... petitioner Mr. Antarikhya Basu ....for the State None appears for the petitioner even in the second call. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary including the statement recorded under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the materials downloaded from the internet.

The materials in the case diary suggest that offensive materials with regard to the de facto complainant were uploaded on the internet.

The statement of the de facto complainant recorded under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code squarely implicates the petitioner.

In such circumstances, considering the gravity of the offence and materials in the case diary, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

CRM (A) 1334 of 2023 is rejected.
