Amit Burman v. State Of West Bengal

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Sl. 59 01.12.2025 Court No.28 Sc CRM (A) 3782 OF 2025 -------- In Re :

An Application For Anticipatory Bail in connection with Gariahat Police Station Case No.187/2023 dated 14.8.2023 under Sections 420/120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 filed on 04.11.2025.

And In the matter of: Mr. Amit Burman ... Petitioner Mr. Pawan Kr. Gupta Mr. Yogesh Kr. Sharma Ms. Sifia Nisar Mr. Santanu Seth Mr. Atul Sureka Ms. Priyanka Rajak.

... For the Petitioner Mr. Anand Kesari Mr. Karan Bapuli.

...For the State Heard learned counsels for the parties and perused the case diary.

It has been alleged that certain share transactions were made by the Bank and its employees without the consent of the customer/de facto complainant.

It also appears that in the GRC proceedings, the complainant's claim against the Bank was not accepted.

Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the alleged role ascribed to the 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 petitioner. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

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, 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 further condition that the petitioner shall cooperate with investigation, if any, and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
