In the matter of : Lal Mohammad Sekh @ Lalmahammad Sk

… Petitioner(s)

Mr. Sabyasachi Chatterjee Mr. Rishabh Ahmed Khan Mr. Rohon Mahabub

… for the petitioner(s)

Dr. Pradip Banerjee, ld. APP Mr. Surendra Betal Mr. Kuntal Ray

… for the State-respondent(s)

Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioners have been foisted with the criminal case pursuant to the change in administration. State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. I have taken into account the materials appearing in the case records and I find that similarly placed accused person has already been granted anticipatory bail in CRM(A)

2875 of 2026. The records also speak that the incident commenced from the year 2016. Having considered the overall circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner [Lal Mohammad Sekh @ Lalmahammad Sk] be released on anticipatory bail subject to the satisfaction of the arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days from date and, thereafter, on all subsequent dates as would be fixed by the Investigating Officer of the case for the sake of investigation till the report in final form is submitted before the learned jurisdictional court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 3664 of 2026 is disposed of. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record.

Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta.
