Golam Mirza v. State Of West Bengal
03.07.2025 Court No.28 Item No.31 ssi CRM (A) 1897 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Matia PS Case No.14 of dated 11.01.2025 under Sections 318(2)/319(2)/318(4)/351(2)/61(2) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Golam Mirza ....Applicant/Petitioner.
Mr. Surajit Basu Ms. Jasika Alam ...for the petitioner Mr. Ranadeb Sengupta Mr. Debanshu Ghorai ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the deed writer in question. The prime accused is one Abdul Ohid who had allegedly committed impersonation and forgery of document to sell properties. In fact, the identifier of the seller had also identified the prime culprit based on forged document produced by the prime accused Abdul Ohid. In such circumstance, the bonafide purchasers of the property and the identifier of the seller were all granted anticipatory bail by this Court by orders dated 23.04.2025 passed in CRM 1288 of 2025 and dated 05.05.2025 passed in CRM (A) 1436 of 2025. The present petitioner being the deed writer stands on an even better footing. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that the main accused Abdul Ohid is not before this Court and some
other co-accused had been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, 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 conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall cooperate with investigation. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
