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. Mr. Sengupta, learned Advocate for the petitioner, submits that, owing to political rivalry and personal grudge, the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case. He submits that the benefit under Section 482 of the BNSS may be extended in favour of the petitioner.
2. Learned Advocate for the State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.
3. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the respective parties and perused the materials in the case diary. Considering the medical documents available in the case diary and the statements of the witnesses recorded under Section 180 of the BNSS, and on further consideration that the incident occurred in the presence of direct evidence, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and that the privilege under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended in favour of the petitioner.

4. Accordingly, I direct that, in the event of arrest, the petitioner namely, Ranjit Burnwal shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman, and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023.
5. The application being CRM (A) 2301 of 2026 is disposed of.
