01.08.2025 Court No.28 Item No.45 ssi CRM (A) 2402 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Beldanga PS Case No.334 of 2025 dated 31.05.2025 under Sections 351(2)/69 of the BNS, 2023.

And In the matter of: Jummat Sk.

....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Kunal Ganguly Md. Abdur Rakib Mr. Mojahid Mehedi ...for the petitioner Mr. Jisan Iqbal Hossain Ms. Chandrima Debnath ...for the de facto Mr. Md. Adil Badr Ms. Rita Dutta ..for the State Heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the petitioner, the de facto complainant and the State.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the stark difference between the statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate and her FIR and in view of the fact that as per the FIR, there was a relationship between the two for some time, 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.)
