Faizul Mollick v. State Of West Bengal

18.06.2026 Court No.28 Item No.27 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 1632 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Jangipara P.S. Case No.457 of 2025 dated 14.12.2025 under Sections 109(1)/117(2)/126(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Faizul Mollick ....Petitioner.

Mr. Suman Chakraborty ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Bhaskar Seth ....for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. There was a scuffle between villagers over an incident. The injuries received were not grievous in nature. The FIR was registered three days after the incident.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers the statements of witnesses and the injury report, which, however, does not show infliction of any grievous 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.

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 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 further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with investigation, shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
