Meeraj Munsi @ Miraj Munshi v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

14.08.2025 Court No.28 Item No.14 ssi CRM (A) 2446 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Dadpur PS Case No.184 of 2025 dated 01.06.2025 under Sections 64(2) (m)/115(2)/316(2)/351(2)(3) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of: Meeraj Munsi @ Miraj Munshi ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Md. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Bhaskar Hutait Mr. Tasnim Ahmed ...for the petitioner Mr. Binay Kumar Panda Mr. Ratul Ghosh ..for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Despite service, no one appears on behalf of the de facto complainant.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the nature of allegations, the materials available in the case diary, the fact that charge sheet has been submitted and the fact that the petitioner and the victim, a married lady, had some kind of an acquaintance with the petitioner for a particular length of time and even went together to places, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner would be required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 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 attend the jurisdictional Court regularly and he shall surrender before the learned trial Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
