Dipankar Biswas v. State Of West Bengal

AD 56 August 25, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 2655 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Beliaghata P.S. Case No.204 of 2024 dated 25.12.2024 under Sections 319(2)/318(4)/61(2)(a) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of:

Dipankar Biswas ... petitioner Ms. Minoti Gomes ... for the petitioner Ms. Anasuya Sinha, ld. APP Ms. Snigdha Saha ... for the State Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary and the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner, I do not find that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is 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/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 the further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation, shall meet the investigating officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
