And In the matter of: Sayan Banerjee & Ors.

....petitioners.

Mr. Shambhu Nath Ray Ms. Amrita Tewari Ms. Tuhina Parvin Mr. Bikramjit Mandal ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, Ld. APP Mr. Subrato Roy ...for the State.

Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

The disputes apparently emanate out of written documents.

Apparently, the disputes are civil in nature. In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioners will report before the Investigating Officer once a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of

the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 40 of 2023 is, thus, disposed of.
