Rintu Mondal v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

29.07.2025 Court No.28 Item No.59 ssi CRM (A) 2343 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Murutia PS Case No.168 of 2025 dated 24.06.2025 under Sections 316(2)/69 of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Rintu Mondal ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Santanu Talukdar Mr. Amanul Islam Mr. Sourav Mukherjee ...for the petitioner Mr. Prasun Kr. Dutta Mr. Dipankar Mahata ..for the State Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

No one appears on behalf of the de facto complainant. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary including statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate stating that she had given some money to the petitioner and the petitioner created trouble when she asked for the money and the fact that she refused medical examination, 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. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

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 petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
