Kazi Md. Sajid v. State Of West Bengal

11.06.2026 Sl. No.49 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M (A) 1480 of 2026 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Haripal PS Case No.104/2026 dated 15.02.2026 under Sections 316(2)/109/85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. And In the matter of: Kazi Md. Sajid ... petitioner Mr. Abhra Mukherjee, Mr. Sauradee Dutta, Mr. Arpayan Mukherjee, Mr. Himadree Ghosh.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Pritam Roy, Ms. Tanusree Kar.

...for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the husband of the alleged victim. The marriage between the couple took place in 2017. The couple has a child. The petitioner has not committed any of the offences alleged.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate, the statements of other witnesses including neighbours and the injury report, which, however, does not show any external injury.

Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the

petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a week till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
