Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 17 days. The police filed charge-sheet and, therefore, further detention of the petitioner is not required.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State refers to the materials in the case diary and in particular the statement recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Considering the fact that another co-accused was granted bail and considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein and considering the fact that the police filed charge-sheet, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghatal, subject to condition that the petitioner shall appear before the learned

trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event, the petitioner fails to appear before the trial court without any justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The prayer for bail is allowed.

CRM (DB) 473 of 2022 is disposed of.
