Santu Maji v. State Of West Bengal

AD 46 November 28, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 3721 of 2025 Reject An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Daspur Police Station Case No.144 of 2025 dated 31.03.2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/109(1)/ 76/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023.

And In the matter of:

Santu Maji ... petitioner Mr. Sumanta Ganguly ... for the petitioner Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Mr. Dipankar Mahata ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there was a free fight between neighbours. The first FIR was started from the side of the petitioner. A similarly circumstanced co-accused being the father of the present petitioner was granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and refers to the statement of eyewitness as also the injury report, which shows lacerated injury on scalp requiring stitches and medical treatment at the hospital. Considering the incriminating materials available in the case diary, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
