Piu Roy v. State Of West Bengal

11/07/2025 D/L 43 Ct. No.28 S.Kundu C.R.M.(A) 2190 of 2025 Allowed In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In connection with Kharagpur police station case no. 275 of 2025 dated 9.6.2025 under sections 316(2)/318(2) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Piu Roy ... Petitioner Mr. Subhadeep Chatterjee Ms. Arpita Kundu ...for the petitioner.

Ms. Antariksha Basu Ms. Ratua Ghosh ...for the State.

1. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

2. Perused the case diary.

3. Considering the serious nature of allegations and the materials available in the case diary including the FIR which states that the de-facto complainant, a Police Constable, had allegedly paid sums of money to the petitioner on good faith, I do not think that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall

cooperate with the investigation and the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
