Mir Firozuddin Ahmed v. State Of West Bengal
21.11.2025 Sl. No.05 Ct. 28 NB CRM (A) 3435 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 Haripal PS Case No.350/2024 dated 23.06.2024 under Sections 420/406/467/468/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
And In the matter of: Mir Firozuddin Ahmed ... petitioner Mr. Kalyan Kr. Chakraborty, Mr. Gopal Krishna Sarkar, Mr. Kashinath Bhattacharya.
...for the petitioner.
Mr. Sanjay Banerjee, Ms. Kanchan Roy.
...for the State.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the dispute is purely civil in nature. The petitioner is a bonafide purchaser of a property without notice of any defect in title. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.
Considering the materials available in the case diary, the proceeding under the WBLR Act and the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner, 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 present petitioner.
Accordingly, 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 Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid
down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.
The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. 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.
