Ekramul Hoque & anr.

... Petitioners.

Adv. Debasish Mukhopadhyay, Adv. Srishti Sarkar, Adv. Payel Chanda, ...for the petitioners.

Adv. Namrata Das, ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated due to a land dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant. Injuries sustained are simple in nature. Charge sheet has been submitted. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. Upon considering the material on record, this Court is inclined to hold that since injuries are simple in nature and charge sheet has been submitted, custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required and they may be granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest, the petitioners namely Ekramul Hoque and Fhajina Bibi be released on bail on furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees ten Thousand only) each with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The

petitioners shall surrender before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within two weeks from date.

CRM (A) 131 of 2026 is, thus, disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
