And In Re : Shamim Shaikh .... petitioner Mr. Navonil De ....for the petitioner Mr. Goutam Wilson ...... for the State Apprehending arrest in connection with Rejinagar Police Station Case No.156 of 2021 dated August 07, 2021 under Sections 448/376 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, the present application has been preferred.

Heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties and considered the materials in the case diary. Prima facie, we find strong incriminating materials in the case diary against the petitioner. Considering the gravity of the offence and the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, we are not inclined to exercise discretion in his favour. As such, his prayer for anticipatory bail is refused. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. No.8360 of 2021 is dismissed.

All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Krishna Rao, J.) (Tapabrata Chakraborty, J.)
