In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of
the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection
with Chakdaha Police Station Case No. 609 of 2023 dated
02.09.2023 under Sections 448/354D/376/511/506/34 of the
Indian Penal Code.
In Re: Surojit Barui.
... ... Petitioner
Ms. Minoti Gomes.
... ... for the petitioner
Mr. Prasun Kr. Dutta, Ld. A.P.P.,
Mr. Tirthankar Dhali.
... ... for the State
1.
Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.
2. We have considered the materials on record. There was
dispute between neighbours. Petitioner had instituted a criminal
case earlier. In retaliation, the present case has been registered.
Statement of the victim requires to be assessed in light of the
aforesaid submission relating to mala fides at the appropriate
stage of the proceeding.
3. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion custodial
interrogation of the petitioner for progress of investigation is not
necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.
4. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the
petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of
Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, to the
satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the
conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. He
shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular
bail within four weeks from date.
