ORDER
15.03.2022 01.
This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode). Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the name of the petitioner no.2 has been inadvertently mentioned as 'Montu Das', in fact the name of the petitioner no.2 'Mantu Das'.
In view of such submission, the name of petitioner no.2 shall be read as 'Mantu Das' in place of 'Montu Das'
// 2 // Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
This is an application under section 438 of Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with Kissannagar P.S. Case No.34 of 2022 for alleged commission of offences under sections 341, 294, 323, 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Perused the F.I.R. annexed to the anticipatory bail application.
Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that on account of political rivalry during last Gram Panchayat election, the case has been foisted and the fact that the offences are triable by Magistrate and the only non-bailable offence is under section 506 of the Indian Penal Code and after hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when
// 3 // required and they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.
Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.
The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
