And In Re: Sanjit Sarkar

...Petitioner

Mr. Sayantan Hazra ...for the petitioner Ms. Amita Gaur Mr. Subham Bhakat ...for the State 1.

Heard learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record.

Petitioner contends that he has been falsely implicated in a series of cases due to political affiliation. He prays for anticipatory bail.

3.

Learned A.P.P opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits petitioner is implicated in a number of cases.

4.

Complicity of the petitioner is based on statement of co-accused before police officer. It is contended he has been falsely implicated in similar cases due to political affiliation.

5.

Under such circumstances, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Sanjit Sarkar be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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. Petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

7.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
