No. 446 PG C.R.M.(A) 2753 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, in connection with Asansol North Police Station Case No. 228 of 2025 dated 24.05.2025 under Sections 297 / 319(2)/ 318(4)/ 336(2)/ 338/336(3)/336(4)/340(1)/340(2)/339/61(2)of the Bharatiya Naya Sanhita, and under section 7(3) of Lottery (Regulation) Act, 1998 pending before the Court of the Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Asansol.

And In the matter of : Sk. Dablu. ...... petitioner Mr. Debanshu Ghorai ....for the petitioner Mr. Madhusudhan Sur, Ld. APP Mr. Sufi Kamal ....for the State

1. Heard the submissions of both the learned advocates.

2. Perused the materials in the case diary.

3. After going through the materials in the case diary and the various statements made by the various witnesses under section 180 of BNSS, which, prima facie, goes against the present petitioner and also having considered the nature and seriousness of the allegation, which involves a racket regarding lottery business, this Court is of the view that benefit of section 482(2) of BNSS may not be extended in favour of the petitioner, even though he is not an FIR named person.

4. Hence the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Chaitali Chatterjee (Das), J.)
