(A) 3750 of 2024 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Digha Police Station Case No. 37 of 2024 dated 04.08.2024 under Sections 3/4/5/6/7 of the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act, 1956.

In Re: Anupam Panda ... ... Petitioner Mr. Dinesh Pani, ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Subhasree Patel, Ms. Jonaki Saha.

... ... for the State 1.

We have gone through the statements in the case diary. Petitioner is involved in trafficking women for sexual exploitation.

2.

Keeping in mind the nature of offence which has far reaching social implications and prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the organized crime, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail.

3.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By :
