In connection with Durgapur New Town Ship P.S case no. 161 of 2025 dated 20/12/2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/118(2)/351(2)/74/3(5) of the BNS. In the matter of: Abhik Chatterjee @ Avik Chatterjee & Ors.

...Petitioners.

Mr. Saheb Banerjee ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Tapodip Gupta ... Amicus.

1. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. There was a scuffle between the neighbours. Both sides received injuries, but none of them was grievous in nature. There are case and counter case.

2. Learned Amicus assisting the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses. However, he submits that the injury reports do not show infliction of any external injury.

3. Considering the above and 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 petitioners.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 further conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from date and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
