- A n d - In the matter of : Rabin Das & Anr.

.... Petitioners.

Mr. Kunal Ganguly, ... For the Petitioners.

Mr. Anwar Hossain, Mr. Subhajit Chowdhury, ... For the State.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits as follows. There was a scuffle between the neighbours. The first complaint was lodged on behalf of the petitioners. There was a delay of about 26 days in lodging the FIR which was registered after direction was passed by a learned Magistrate. No grievous injury was received by the alleged victim in the present case. Learned Advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He refers to the statement of the victim and the injury report. In the injury report there was a mention that an injury was found in the scalp of the victim, amongst others.

Although the subsequent statement of the victim makes a general allegations against all the accused, specific details have been given in the application before the learned Magistrate. According to the same, there are two other co-accused had assaulted the victim aimed at the head with an iron rod. The petitioner no. 2 is one of them.

Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the alleged roles ascribed to each of the petitioners while I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner no. 1 and in so far as the petitioner no. 2 is concerned, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner no. 1, namely, Rabin Das shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses and shall cooperate with the investigation and shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. ( Jay Sengupta, J. )
