Ankit Sarkar And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

A 17 December 2, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 3628 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Raiganj Police Station Case No.1138 of 2025 dated 06.10.2025 under Sections 316(2)/318(4)/61(2) of the BNS, 2023.

And In the matter of:

Ankit Sarkar and others ... petitioners Mr. Amitabha Ghosh Ms. Susmita Hazra ... for the petitioners Ms. Faria Hossain, ld. APP Ms. Trisha Rakshit ... for the State Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

It appears that the prime allegation is that a loan given by the de facto complainant was not repaid by the present petitioners.

Considering the materials available in the case diary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 the further conditions that the petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation, shall meet the investigating officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
