Rajikul Khan @ Md Rajikul Khan v. State Of West Bengal

28.11.2025 Court No.28 Item No.95 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 3773 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Kaliachak P.S. Case No. 1514 of 2025 dated 29.08.2025 under Sections 3 & 4 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. And In the matter of: Rajikul Khan @ Md Rajikul Khan & Anr. Mr. Priyankar Ganguly Ms. Shalini Bairagi ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Ms. Pallavi Priyadarshi .....for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She submits that some explosive substances were recovered from a mango garden. The only material available against the petitioner is the statement of a co-accused. Considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that the only material available in the case diary against the petitioner is the statement of a co-accused, I do not think that custodial interrogation of petitioners is required in this case and 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/- 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 further condition that the petitioners shall cooperate with investigation, shall meet the I.O. once a week 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 may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
