The State | anticipatory bail rejected | Santipur PS Case No.1109 of 2024 dated 24.08.2024 | BNS 2023 Sections 329(4), 117(2), 118(2), 109, 351(2)(3), 61(2), 3(5) | S.438 CrPC / S.482 BNSS | incriminating case-diary materials; victim/witness statements implicating petitioner; injury reports of four victims incl. scalp injury requiring stitches | Jay Sengupta, J. | decided 05.02.2026.
What did the court decide?
Anticipatory bail refused: considering the incriminating materials in the case diary, the statements of victims and other witnesses implicating the petitioner, and the injury reports of four victims (some showing injuries on vital parts such as the scalp requiring several stitches to repair the wounds), the court did not consider this a fit case for granting anticipatory bail.
