....petitioners.

Mr. Uday Sankar Chattopadhyay Ms. Rajashree Tah Ms. Trisha Rakshit ... for the petitioners.

Mr. Partha Pratim Das Ms. Eshita Dutta ...for the State.

Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

Apparently, the injured did not suffer grievous hurt. There is an issue of delay in lodgment of the FIR also. 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) 360 of 2023 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
