CIRCUIT BENCH OF CALCUTTA HIGH COURT 25.04.2024 AT JALPAIGURI Court No.01 Item No. 19 Rejected sg CRM (A) 297 of 2024 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Rajganj Police Station Case No. 262/2023 dated 25.05.2023 under Section 489A/489B/489C of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re: Subhas Kabiraj @ Sukumar.

Petitioner Mr. Debajit Kundu For the Petitioner Mr. Abhijit Sarkar Mr. Biswarup Roy For the State

1. We have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The prayer for anticipatory bail is opposed on behalf of the State. It appears that huge quantity of FICN was recovered from the possession of the apprehended accused person and the name of the present accused person transpires from the statement.

2. We are of the considered view that for proper investigation, the custodial interrogation of the present accused petitioner is very much necessary. In view of such, we are not inclined to exercise our discretion under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in favour of the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.

3. CRM (A) 297 of 2024 is, thus, dismissed.

4. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.
