And In the matter of: Rohit Prasad ….Petitioner. Mr. Sudip Guha, Ms. Ankita Nag …for the Petitioner. Mr. Avrojyoti Das, Ld. APP., Ms. Ruchika Agarwala, Mr. Atul Dong … for the State. Mr. Abhilash Mittal … for the De facto complainant. 1. Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today, is taken on record. 2. The petitioner prays for pre-arrest bail in connection with Siliguri Women Police Station Case No.56 of 2026 dated 12.05.2026 under Sections 69/318(2)/316(2)/351(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, on the ground that the allegation of promise to marry was not disclosed in the complaint. At best, the allegation could be of breach of trust and the proper remedy of the de facto complainant would be before a civil court, by filing a money suit. 3. The learned advocates for the State and the de facto complainant oppose the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that the petitioner is a lawyer and did cooperate with the investigation. Moreover, the petitioner had taken money from the de facto complainant/victim on false promise and bought laptop, iphone, etc. 2 4. It appears that around Rs.6,00,000/- was paid to the de facto complaint. Some more amount is due and payable. 5. Having perused the nature of the complaint and the materials in the case diary, I direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.50,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner will attend the jurisdictional court on the dates fixed. The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the concerned police station except for the purpose of attending the court. 6. In case the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions as stated above, anticipatory bail stands automatically cancelled without further reference to this Court. 7. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 546 of 2026 is allowed and disposed of. 8. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
