This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been foisted with the criminal case because of change in administration.
2. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that informant suffered injury.
3. Be that as it may, the incident complained of is of the year 2021. Having regard to the fact that such information was furnished on or about 22nd August, 2026, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner will not be warranted.
4. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner, namely, Uttam Saha is allowed.

5. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner be released on bail by the Investigating Officer/Arresting Officer of the case on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper.

6. As investigation is in progress, the petitioner shall report to the Investigating Officer within a period of 10 days and on all subsequent dates as required by the Investigating Officer till the report in final form is submitted before the Jurisdictional Court.
7. With the aforesaid observation, C.R.M. (A) 3053 of 2026 is disposed of.
8. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record.
9. All parties shall act in terms of the server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
