Imran Sk @ Shaikh v. The State Of West Bengal And ANR

05.08.2025 Sl. No.43 NB C.R.M. (A) 1902 of 2025 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 POCSO Case No.11 of 2025 arising out of Thanarpara PS Case No.39/2025 dated 08.02.2025 under Sections 329(3)/115(2)/117(2)/354/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and 12 of POCSO Act.

And In the matter of: Imran Sk. @ Shaikh ... petitioner Mr. Soumya Basu Roy Chowdhury, Mr. Abdul Aziz Mondal.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Binay Panda, Mr. Santanu Talukdar.

...for the State.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate and the statements of neighbours, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. (A) 1902 of 2025 is, thus, rejected.

The personal appearance of the Investigating Officer is noted and is dispensed with.

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.
