Somnath Panda v. State Of West Bengal And ANR
23.04.2024 Item No.8 Ct. No. 29 CHC Rejected C.R.M.(A) 1392 of 2024 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Ramnagar Police Station Case No. 416/2023 dated 25.06.2023 under Sections 448/341/342/376/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of : Somnath Panda ...... petitioner Mr. Arindam Jana, Mr. A. Sengupta, Ms. Tanusree Kar, Mr. P.P. Saha ....for the petitioner Mr. Ashok Das ....for the State Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.
Materials in the Case Diary suggest requirement of investigation against the petitioner.
Enlarging the petitioner on anticipatory bail will be inimical to such investigation.
Consequently, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. CRM(A) 1392 of 2024 is disposed of.
