Akib Rana v. State Of West Bengal

AD 51 December 11, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 3833 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Nabadwip P.S. Case No.233 of 2025 dated 02.04.2025 under Sections 86/115(2)/109/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023.

And In the matter of:

Akib Rana ... petitioner Mr. Debangan Bhattacharjee Mr. Mir Anowar Mr. Mahiul Islam Ms. Mohona Bandopadhyay Ms. Sudipta Mahapatra ... for the petitioner Ms. Manisha Sharma Ms. Suveni Banerjee ... for the State Ms. Afreen Begum ... for the de facto complainant Copy of the subsequent statement of the alleged victim recorded on 07.12.2025 is taken on record.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

From the subsequent statement of the victim it appears that the disputes between the private parties have been settled and the alleged victim is staying with her husband at her96++ matrimonial home.

Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation

is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 petitioner 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.
