                  In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under
              section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,
              2023/under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
              In connection with Kharagpur police station case no. 275 of
              2025 dated 9.6.2025 under sections 316(2)/318(2) of the
              BNS.

                 In the matter of: Piu Roy
                                                                ... Petitioner

                         Mr. Subhadeep Chatterjee
                         Ms. Arpita Kundu
                                                         ...for the petitioner.
                         Ms. Antariksha Basu
                         Ms. Ratua Ghosh
                                                              ...for the State.


             1.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

2. Perused the case diary.

3. Considering the serious nature of allegations and the

materials available in the case diary including the FIR

which states that the de-facto complainant, a Police

Constable, had allegedly paid sums of money to the

petitioner on good faith, I do not think that the custodial

interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and

I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 petitioner shall
2

cooperate with the investigation and the petitioner shall

not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

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.
