10/06/2026 D/L - 45 Court No.28 S. Kundu Partly Allowed C.R.M.(A) 1374 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section of the BNSS, 2023.

In connection with Harishchandrapur P.S case no. 1175 of 2025 dated 03/11/2025 under sections 118(2)/109/329(3)/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Jagannath Das & Ors.

...Petitioners.

Ms. Sujata Das ...for the petitioners.

Name not supplied.

...for the State.

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

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statements of witnesses including those of the victim which support the prosecution case. He also refers to the injury reports which show infliction of grave cut injuries on the vital parts of the body of the victim like head, which required stitches for repair.

3. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that the petitioner nos. 2 and 4 are the female members of the household, while I am

inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner nos. 2 (Apo Das @ Appo Das) and 4 (Dipti Das @ Mousumi Das), the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner nos. 1 and 3 is rejected.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner nos. 2 and 4 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 said petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed-in-part.

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