This anticipatory bail application has been filed apprehending arrest in a proceeding under Section 366 of the Indian Penal Code registered as Police Station Case No. 178 of 2017 by the Farakka Police Station.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the investigation has been completed and the charge-sheet has been filed, there is no need for custodial interrogation of the petitioners. Since the investigation is complete and there is no risk of evidence being tampered, bail is allowed.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- each (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, Jangipur, Murshidabad, subject to condition that the petitioners shall appear before the trial Court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and on further condition that the petitioners shall not enter the jurisdiction of Farakka Police Station

except for the purposes of investigation and attending Court proceedings and shall provide the address where they shall reside while on bail to the Investigating Officer as well as the Court below and shall report to the Officer-in-Charge of the concerned Police Station within whose jurisdiction they shall reside once in a week until further orders. In the event the petitioners fail to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court.
