27.01.2026 Court No.28 Item No.66 ssi CRM (A) 14 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Chandrakona Police Station Case No.548 of 2025 dated 18.11.2025 under Sections 126 (2)/118(2)/117(2)/109/324(4)/303(2)/351 (2)/3(5) of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Sahadur Rahaman @ Sk. Saidur Rahaman .... Petitioner.

Mr. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Dhiman Banerjee Mr. Ezaz Ahmed ...for the petitioner Ms. Baisali Basu Mr. Nirupam Dhali ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the owner of the land in question while the de facto complainant was the alleged bargadar. Earlier the petitioner had approached the learned Magistrate Court with an application under Section 163 of the BNSS. A brawl took place between the parties. The petitioner also suffered injuries. There was a case and counter case.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She refers to the statements of the witnesses and the injury report.

Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that there are case and counter case, 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 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 conditions that the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
