Gourab Saha v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

24.09.2025 Court No.28 Item No.45 ssi CRM (A) 3059 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Berhampore PS Case No.1615 of 2025 dated 19.07.2025 under Sections 69/351

(3) of BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Gourab Saha ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Jisan Iqbal Hossain ...for the petitioner Mr. Navanil De ...for the de facto Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Md. Ejaz Akhtar ...for the State Reports filed on behalf of the State are taken on record. Heard the learned counsels for the petitioner, the de facto complainant and the State.

It appears from the statement of the victim that there was a relationship between the two consenting adults and thereafter the petitioner refused to marry her.

Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that charge sheet has already been submitted, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

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

However, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 condition that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within six weeks from this date. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
