Latif Molla @ Sk Latib v. State Of West Bengal

21.01.2026 Sl. No.21 NB CRM (A) 4182 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 Haripal PS Case No.335/2025 dated 07.06.2025 under Sections 126(2)/76 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and under Section 8 of the POCSO Act.

And In the matter of: Latif Molla @ Sk. Latib ... petitioner Mr. Abhra Mukherjee Mr. Sauradeep Dutta, Mr. Appayan Mukherjee, Mr. Himadree Ghosh.

...for the petitioner.

Ms. Shaila Afrin Mr. Atanu Ghosh.

..for the State.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the incriminating materials available in the case diary including the statements of the 10 year old victim girl recorded before the learned Magistrate, 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 copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
