And In Re : Sk. Kamran & Zaid Hossain ... Petitioner.

Mr. Milon Mukherjee Mr. Sanjib Kr. Dan ... for the Petitioner.

Mr. Joydeep Biswas Ms. Sudeshna Das ... For the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The victim was a college student who joined a gaming App. In course of the game, she paid money on different occasions amounting to more than Rs.1,00,000/-. The victim ultimately committed suicide. The mobile phone of the victim has been seized and her voice recordings deciphered therefrom. The victim has not named the petitioners as the alleged miscreants who duped her of the amount. The petitioners are not named in the FIR and their names have transpired from the statement of the co accused. Charge sheet has been submitted. The petitioners are in custody for more than 200 days. Evidence on record does not prima facie connect the petitioners to the alleged offence. Considering the evidence on record as well as extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged offence, this Court is of the view that further detention of the petitioners is not

required and they may be granted bail subject to stringent conditions.

Accordingly prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioners Sk. Kamran & Zaid Hossain be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- each (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bolpur, Birbhum subject to condition that they appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing. They shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioners fail to appear before the learned trial Court on any date without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is thus disposed of. Case Diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
