25/03/2026 D/L - 45 Court No.6 S. Kundu Allowed
IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA
CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI CRM (A) 220 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Tufanganj P.S case no. 123 of 2026 dated 27/02/2026 under sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/109/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS. In the matter of: Vivekananda Das @ Bibekananda Das & Ors.
...Petitioners.
Mr. Jagriti Mishra Ms. A. Bhattacharyya Ms. M. Das Ms. D. Datta Ms. A. Sultana ...for the petitioners.
Mr. Abhijit Sarkar Mr. Kallol Acharjee ...for the State.
1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case due to political rivalry. The de-facto complainant is the husband of the Panchayat Pradhan in question.
2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of witnesses and two injury reports one showing abrasion and the other showing no abrasion.
3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary and the alleged roles ascribed to the
petitioners, 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.
4. 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 further conditions that the petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The petitioners shall meet the I.O once a week till submission of report in final form.
5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.
6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
