And In Re: Alemul Ali @ Islam ... ... Petitioner Ms. Munmun Dutta ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Subhamay Bhattacharya Ms. Kanchan Roy ... ... for the State 1.

Report is placed on record.

2.

From the victim's statement it appears though victim is a minor, she was in love with the principal accused and had eloped with him. She has been recovered.

3.

Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

4.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely, Alemul Ali @ Islam, 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.

5.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
