Mohidul Islam Dafadar @ Jhantu And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal

08.06.2026 Court No.28 Item No.5 ssi CRM (A) 1288 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in connection with Chapra Police Station Case No. 438 of 2022 dated 20.07.2022 under Sections 448/323/354/427/379/435/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Explosive Substances Act.

And In the matter of: Mohidul Islam Dafadar @ Jhantu & others. Petitioners Mr. Sabir Ahmed Ms. Sangeeta Chakraborty Ms. Anindita Kundu ...for the petitioners Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharya, Ld. APP Mr. Neel Chakrobarty ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. A neighbor lodged an FIR that there was a bomb explosion in the house of a miscreant. A charge sheet was submitted against the husband of the present de facto complainant. On the self-same cause of action, the present de facto complainant lodged the instant FIR against the petitioners. First, a final report was submitted. The de facto complainant filed a Naraji petition and the same was allowed on 23.03.2026 and a warrant of arrest has been issued. The petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case as a counter-blast.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that the first FIR dated 06.07.2022 was lodged in respect of an explosion in the house of one Moslem Sk. Thereafter, the present FIR was lodged.

and the present petitioner nos. 1, 3 and 4 have been made accused in this case being Chapra PS Case NO. 563 of 2024. He relies on statements of witnesses recorded before the learned Magistrate as well as the statement of a local independent witness. Considering the above and the alleged roles ascribed to each of the present petitioners, while I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner nos. 1, 3 and 4 stands rejected. In the event of arrest, the petitioner nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7 (Hajet Biswas @ Hajer @ Hajib, Bhuka Sk, Hosen Sk and Hamid Sardar) 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 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 conditions that the petitioner nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7 (Hajet Biswas @ Hajer @ Hajib, Bhuka Sk, Hosen Sk and Hamid Sardar) shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7 shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
