Dhurendra Singh v. State Of West Bengal

C.R.M. (A) 4459 of 2023 04.01.2024 Sl.20 Court No.29 (AD) (Rejected) In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Raniganj Police Station Case No.637 of 2022 dated 03.12.2022 under Sections 419/420/468/471/120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, giving rise to C Case No.1638 of 2022.

And In the matter of: Dhurendra Singh ....petitioner.

Mr. Sandip Dinda ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Saibal Bapuli, Ld. APP Mr. Soumik Ganguli ...for the State.

The application for anticipatory bail is taken up for consideration subsequent to the order dated October 16, 2023 passed by the Coordinate Bench.

By such order, the interim anticipatory bail was granted to the petitioner.

It is submitted at the bar that such order was passed without considering the materials in the case diary and in view of the ensuing puja vacation.

We perused the materials in the case diary.

Petitioner stands implicated in the offence of cheating. He extracted a sum in excess of Rs.2 lacs from the account of the de facto complainant ostensibly to repay the loan. Enlarging the petitioner on anticipatory bail will not only be inimical to the investigation but also will send a wrong signal to the society.

In such circumstances, we are unable to confirm the interim order dated October 16, 2023 or grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.

C.R.M. (A) 4459 of 2023 is dismissed.
