25/03/2026 D/L - 46 Court No.6 S. Kundu Allowed

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI CRM (A) 222 of 2026 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Mathabhanga P.S case no. 41 of 2026 dated 23/01/2026 under sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/109/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS.

In the matter of: Suresh Asoyar @ Suresh Ashowar @ Suresh Ashoyar & Ors.

...Petitioners.

Mr. P.P. Sarkar Mr. B. Roy ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Abhijit Sarkar Mr. Kallol Acharjee ...for the State.

1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits as follows. A scuffle took place between the co-villagers. Injuries were received on both sides, but none was grievous in nature. There are case and counter case.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the injury report, which does not, however, show infliction of any grievous injury.

3. Considering the above and the other materials available in the case diary, 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 fortnight 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.
