Madhusudan Pal v. State Of West Bengal

10.04.2026 Court No.28 Item No.19 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 1102 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Goghat P.S. Case No. 142 of 2026 dated 20.03.2026 under Sections 109/115(2)/117(2)/126(2)/3(5)/351(2)/352/76 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In the matter of: Dr. Madhusudan Pal ....Petitioner.

Mr. Samrat Choudhury Ms. Richa Pramanik Mr. Ronit Naskar ....for the petitioner Mr. Avishek Sinha Mr. Prakash Mishra ....for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that there was an altercation between family members. No serious injury was caused to anyone.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the injury report, which, however, does not show infliction of any grievous injury. He also relies on the statements of witnesses.

Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 shall cooperate with investigation, shall meet the I.O. as and when required and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
