And In Re :

Debasish Samanta ... Petitioner.

Mr. Satadru Lahiri, Ms. Ankita Bose ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Ranadeb Sengupta, Mr. Md. Ejaz Akhtar ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than four months and has been implicated in connection with the instant case for alleged receipt of stolen/property obtained from robbery/dacoity.

State was earlier asked to submit a report as to whether there are antecedents of the present petitioner. A report has been submitted which emphasises on the present case only.

Having considered the period of detention of the present petitioner and the complicity restricting to offence under Section 317(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, I

am of the opinion that further detention of the petitioner is uncalled for. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Debasish Samanta shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purba Medinipur at Tamluk,.
