Xxxxxx v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

09.12.2025 Sl. No.27 Ct. 28 NB CRM (A) 3737 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 Palashipara PS Case No.480/2025 dated 23.09.2025 under Sections 351(2)/64(2)(m) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of: XXX ... petitioner Mr. Santanu Talukdar, Mr. Amanul Islam, Mr. Sourav Mukherjee.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. S.S. Imam, Ms. Suveni Banerjee.

...for the State.

Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Despite service, no one appears on behalf of the de facto complainant.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary including the statement of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate which indicates that there was some kind of a relationship between the two for a considerable length of time, 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 shall meet the Investigating Officer once a week 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.
