CRM(A) 65 of 2026, High Court at Calcutta, Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri, Jay Sengupta J., March 17, 2026: anticipatory bail application under Section 482 BNSS 2023 in Kharibari P.S. Case No.107 of 2024 (Sections 376/511/506 IPC) rejected; petitioner Tarani Barman (counsel H.S. Podder); State represented by A.S. Chakraborty, Kallol Acharjee and Bhaskar Das; court relied on statement of 13-year-old victim recorded before Magistrate and incriminating case-diary materials; defence plea of false implication noted but not accepted.
What did the court decide?
Considering the statement of the 13-year-old girl/victim and the other incriminating materials available in the case diary, this is not a fit case for granting anticipatory bail. ¶9
