Mithun Khan v. State Of West Bengal

AD 39 May 16, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 1592 of 2025 Reject An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Saktipur P.S. Case No.171/2024 dated 10.06.2024 under Section 341/325/326/307/34 of the IPC and 9(b) of the I.E. Act.

And In the matter of:

Mithun Khan ... petitioner Mr. Arnab Kumar Neogi Mr. Amitava Karmakar Mr. Sourav Samanta ... for the petitioner Mr. Ashok Das ... for the State Mr. Robiul Islam Mr. Masooq Rahman ... for the de facto complainant Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that two similar FIRs were lodged, one on 19.04.2024 and the other on 20.04.2024. The petitioner obtained anticipatory bail in respect of the first case. This is the second case. The petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged. The bomb in question was hurled by a co-accused.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail, refers to the statement of an injured person and submits that in the instant case the accused persons had hurled bomb. A similarly circumstanced co-accused was denied anticipatory bail by this Court on 17.04.2025 in CRM(A) 1226 of 2025.

Learned counsel for the de facto complainant submits that the leg of the victim had to be amputated.

Considering the nature of allegations and the fact that a similarly circumstanced co-accused was denied the benefit of anticipatory bail by this Court, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
