Jayanta Singha @ Asaru And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal

19.09.2025 Court No.28 Item No.37 ssi CRM (A) 3043 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Bamongola PS Case No.159 of 2024 dated 08.07.2024 under Sections 126(2)/117(2)/110/76/351(2) (3)/3 (5) of the BNS 2023. And In the matter of: Jayanta Singha @ Asaru & others. ....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ...for the petitioners Mrs. Manisha Sharma Mr. Anindya Sundar Chatterjee ...for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that there was an altercation between neighbours. The injury alleged is not grievous in nature. Charge sheet has already been submitted. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and relies on the statements available in the case diary and the injury report.

Considering the materials available in the case diary including the injury report which, however, does not show inflicting of any grievous injury and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

However, in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each 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 petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

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