Rupsa Mukherjee And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

03.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.31 ssi CRM (A) 63 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Singur Police Station Case No.0650 of 2025 dated 27.11.2025 under Sections 305(a) of the BNS 2023.

And In the matter of: Rupsa Mukherjee & another. .... Petitioners.

Mr. Sudipta Maitra, Sr. Adv.

Mr. Vijay Verma Mr. Dwaipayan Biswas Mr. Anik Bhattacharyya ...for the petitioners Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Ms. Debangana Bhattacharya ...for the de facto Mr. Binoy Kumar Panda Mr. Sandip Kundu ..for the State Heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the petitioners, the de facto complainant and the State.

Perused the case diary.

The prosecution case is that the petitioner no.1 was a friend of the daughter of the de facto complainant. At the time of "Ashirbad" of the said daughter, it was found that gold jewellery and some cash amount was missing from the almirah of the de facto complainant. It is suspected that the petitioners had stolen those things. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that there is nothing on record to show that no other person have gone to the room in question, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

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 conditions that the petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. If any CCTV is available, the footage should be preserved and should be seized by the Investigating Officer forthwith. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
