Sanaul Sk @ Senaul Shaikh v. State Of West Bengal

05.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.32 ssi CRM (A) 70 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Suti Police Station Case No.899 of 2025 dated 22.07.2025 under Sections 112 (2)/316(2)/318(2)/(3)/(4)/326 (c )/340 (2)/61 (2)/3(5) of the BNS 2023 and 7 (3)/9 of Lotteries Regulation Act. And In the matter of: Sanaul Sk @ Senaul Shaikh .... Petitioner.

Mr. Dipankar Saha Mr. Subham Kr. Das Mr. Sk. Kobir ...for the petitioner Mr. Rudradipta Nandy Mr. Ashok Das ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the only material available against the present petitioner is the statement of the co-accused which is not inadmissible in evidence. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that according to the coaccused, the petitioner is the king pin of making fake lottery tickets. However, other than the statements of a co-accused, there is no other material available in the case diary against the present petitioner. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that there is hardly any other incriminating materials available against the petitioner except for the statements of the co-accused and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, 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 surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly. The petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses.

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