11.08.2025 Court No.28 Item No.52 ssi CRM (A) 2551 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Raiganj PS Case No.65 of dated 20.01.2024 under Sections 420/468/471/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Yakub Ali & another.

....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Kaushik Choudhury ...for the petitioners Mr. Antarikhya Basu Mr. Abhinaba Mukherjee ..for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

It appears that the prime grievance of the petitioners was that the accused took money for having a mutation record corrected, but did not do the same. They proposed to prepare certain forged documents to give effect to the mutation. Thereafter, a part of the money taken was returned.

Considering the nature of allegations and the materials available 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.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

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 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 petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall co-operate with investigation. The petitioners shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
