No.28 S.Kundu C.R.M.(A) 1620 of 2025 Allowed In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

In the matter of: Tanik Mandal & Anr.

... Petitioners Mr. Kalidas Saha Ms. Khushi Mollick ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Bidyut Kr. Roy Mr. Sujoy Sarkar ...for the State.

1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the FIR arose out of disputes between two neighbours. A scuffle took place that led to the registration of the FIR.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the case diary, which includes statements of witnesses as also injury report. The injury does not appear to be grievous.

3. Considering the nature of allegations and the materials contained in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The petitioners shall meet the I.O once a week till submission of report in final form.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

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