16.06.2025
IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA
Item No.29 CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI Ct.No.2 dc.
Rejected C.R.M. (A) 347 of 2025 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Dinhata Police Station Case No. 59 of 2025 dated 08.02.2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/117(2)/118(2)/109(1)/74/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
And In Re :
Chiranjit Das and Others ... Petitioners.
Mr. Sudip Guha, Mr. Sandip Guha Roy, Mr. Aanda Paul ... For the Petitioners.
Mr. Tapan Bhattacharjee, Mr. Dhiman Sil ... For the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that there is a case and a counter-case between the parties and a long standing land dispute is existing. Additionally, it has been submitted that there was a free fight, consequent to which the petitioners also sustained injuries. However, the police authorities have acted in a biased manner and proceeded with the case against the petitioners.
Learned advocate appearing for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and produced the case diary.
I have considered the medical reports and I am surprised to find that the nature of injuries are not simple, yet the doctors have referred to those as simple injuries, although there are lacerated wound at the scalp and dorsum of the hand of all the three injured. Having considered the nature of injuries and the nature of weapon (rod) used, I am of the view that the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner cannot be accepted. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM(A) 347 of 2025, is, thus, dismissed.
All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.
Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
