IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Criminal Miscellaneous Jurisdiction C.R.M. (A) 372 of 2025 In Re : An application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Sahebganj Police Station Case No. 236 of 2025 dated 30.04.2025 under Sections 221/224/132/121(1)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita read with Sections 21(c)/22(c) and 29 of the NDPS Act. And In Re :

Parvina Khatun & Ors.

Mr. Subham Ghosh Mr. Mayank Roy ... for the petitioners.

Mr. Saikat Chatterjee Mr. Chattu Roy ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent villagers from whom no narcotic substance was recovered. The only allegation against them is that they obstructed the police personnel in apprehending the principal accused.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record.

The petitioners appear to be villagers who apparently obstructed the police personnel in apprehending persons from whom narcotic substance was recovered. The injury

report demonstrates that the petitioners did not participate in the assault of the police personnel.

Considering the material on record, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly in the event of arrest, the petitioners namely Parvina Khatun, Mamata Bibi, Hachina Bibi and Aspa Bibi be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. The petitioners shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within two weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail is thus disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
