And In the matter of : Sagorika Sarkar (Biswas). ……Petitioner. Mr. Arindam Jana Mr. Md. Sarwar Jahan Ms. Shalini Sen Ms. Sahina Parvin Mr. Rahul Surtani Ms. Sonali Ghosh ......for the Petitioner. Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury Mr. Sayan Mukherjee ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been foisted with a criminal case and attention of the case has been drawn to the gist of the information which has been treated as First Information Report of the instant case. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Having considered that that the incident complained of is of the year 2023, I am inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner namely, Sagorika Sarkar (Biswas) 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 terms and 2 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 as and when required by the Investigating Officer of the case for the sake of investigation. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 2720 of 2026 is allowed. 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. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
