APP Mr. Subrato Roy, Advocate ... ...For the State Petitioner renews the prayer for anticipatory bail. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that subsequent to the earlier order of rejection dated October 21, 2020, the police filed charge sheet omitting Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. Considering the fact that police filed charge sheet and considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest 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, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear every day 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 petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

CRM (A) 880 of 2022 is disposed of.
