Prosenjit Karmakar @ Prasen Karmakar v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

24.09.2025 Sl. No.35 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M. (A) 2983 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Krishnaganj P.S. Case No.242/2025 dated 01.06.2025 under Sections 329(3)/115(2)/351(2)/79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and sections 8 and 12 of the POCSO Act.

And In the matter of: Prosenjit Karmakar @ Prasen Karmakar ... petitioner Mr. Avilash Tripathi.

...for the petitioner.

Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharya, Mr. Subham Bhakat.

...for the State.

Report filed on behalf of the State 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 incriminating materials available in the case diary including the statement of the minor victim and the statements of local witnesses, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the present petitioner.

The application for anticipatory bail being CRM (A) 2983 of 2025 is, thus, rejected.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
