30.03.2026

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.102 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 (susanta) Dismissed C.R.M. (M) 522 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Sandeshkhali Police Station Case No. 310 of dated 19.07.2025 under Sections 179/180/340(2)/61(2)/111(2)/316(2)/318(2)/319(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.

And In Re : Tista Sen @ Muniya ... Petitioner.

Mr. Sourov Mondal, Mr. Arijit Bhuiya, Mr. Rony Mondal, Mr. Debarghyo Sil, ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Antarikhya Basu, Mr. Debanik Das, ... For the State.

The petitioner intends to challenge the merit of the case as to the fake Indian Currency notes seized and as to whether the same are within the ambit of fake as is understood and are not notes which are usually used in toys. According to the petitioner there was no recovery from her, as such, she may be released on bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that huge amount of fake currency to the tune of Rs. 30,00,000/- is the subject matter of the present case and there are charges under Sections 111(2) of the BNS. Having considered the same and the fact that the charges are yet to be considered

by the Trial Court, at this stage I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail.

Petitioner would be at liberty to canvass the merits of the case before the Trial Court at the time of consideration of the charges.

The application for bail, being C.R.M. (M) 522 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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.
