Considering the seriousness of the allegation, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, although I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner, however it is observed that, in the event the Petitioner surrenders and moves for bail before the learned J.M.F.C., Basudevpur in G.R. Case No.172 of 2022 corresponding to Chudamani Marine P.S. Case No.31 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the learned Magistrate may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.

// 2 // However, while imposing conditions for bail, learned Magistrate shall also impose the following additional conditions - (i) The Petitioner shall appear before the I.O. and shall cooperate with the investigation as and when required by the I.O.;

(ii) He shall not repeat committing similar offence of present nature, while on bail.

Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail of the Petitioner.
