Heard learned Advocates for the respective parties. 2.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is a relation of the principal accused. In the statement of the victim, no specific overt act is attributed to him. Victim has already been recovered. In light of the aforesaid facts, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

3.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely, Sharif Laskar @ Sariful Alam Laskar, 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. 4.

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