And In the matter of: Jagannath Halder & Anr.

....petitioners.

Mr. Asraf Mandal ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Arijit Ganguly Mr. Sanjib Kumar Dan ...for the State.

Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were falsely implicated. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the contents of the case diary. Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and also considering the injury of the victim and considering that there are disputes amongst the private parties with regard to an immovable property, 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/- each with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioners shall meet the Investigating Officer once a month till

the conclusion of the investigation and that they shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail being CRM(A) 167 of 2022 is, thus, disposed of.
