In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Gaighata Police Station case no. 476 of 2026 dated 27.05.2026 under Sections 196/299/352/61(2)/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 3(1)(r)/3(1)(u) of the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
And In the matter of : Tanushree Sarkar Mondal.
……Petitioner. Mr. Sushigdho Bhattacharyya
.....for the Petitioner. Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharyya, Ld. APP Mr. Amal Kumar Dutta
……for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner refers to a document and submits that the present petitioner belongs to the Scheduled Castes community. It has been alleged that petitioner has no grounds to participate in a programme of conversion of religion. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and produces the Case Diary. I have taken into account the materials available and having regard to the facts that the petitioner is lady, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the petitioner may not be warranted in the facts of the case. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner namely, Tanushree Sarkar Mondal is allowed. As such, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such
2 terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner shall make herself available before the Investigating Officer as and when call for by the investigation officer for the sake of investigation. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 1750 of 2026 is allowed. Report and memo of evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
