And In Re: Rana Mondal ... ... Petitioner Ms. Sangeeta Chakraborty ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Sanjay Bardhan Mr. Arani Bhattacharjee ... ... for the State 1.

Heard learned Advocates for both the parties. 2.

We have considered the materials on record. Incident occurred in course of a sudden quarrel. Co-accused has been granted pre-arrest bail. Under such circumstances, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioner also.

3.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely, Rana Mondal, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), 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 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date. 4.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Subhendu Samanta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : ARUP KUMAR DAS High Court of Calcutta 10 th of February 2025 01:37:53 PM
