And In Re :

Dhananjoy Kumar Singh ... Petitioner.

Adv. Maidul Islam Kayal, Adv. Sumit Naskar, Adv. Archisman Singh, Adv. Noorul Amin Sardar, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Imran Ali, Adv. Debadrita Mondal, ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for 139 days. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not named in the FIR and no incriminating material has transpired against him connecting him to the alleged offence.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State refers to the injury report of the victim as well as the statements of witnesses and submits that the offending weapon has been recovered pursuant to the leading statement of the petitioner. I have considered the material on record. The victim was hospitalised for about seven days. The injury report prima facie suggests that the injury is apparently simple. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Considering the material available in the Case Diary as well as period of detention of the petitioner, this Court is inclined to hold

that further detention of the petitioner is not required. He may be released on bail.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner, namely, Dhananjoy Kumar Singh, be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additonal Chief Judicial Magistrate, Uluberia, subject to the condition that he shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned Court and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is disposed of.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
