Provash Mal @ Provas Mal And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal
AD 34 June 9, 2026 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 1380 of 2026 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Nalhati P.S. Case No.123 of 2026 dated 12.03.2026 under Sections 115(2)/117(2)/118(2)/329(4)/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023.
And In the matter of: Provash Mal @ Provas Mal and others ... petitioners Mr. Souvik Ganguly ... for the petitioners Mr. Pritam Roy Ms. Triparna Roy ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the principal accused or the assailant as named in the FIR, was granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court as she was a female member of the household, but the applications for anticipatory bail of the others were turned down as they were male members of the household. There was no grievous injury inflicted on anyone.
Learned counsel for the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He also relies on the statements of witnesses and the injury report, which does not show infliction of any grievous injury. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 the further conditions that the petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation, shall meet the investigating officer once a week till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
