-AndIn the matter of : Susanta Maji ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Sourat Nandy ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Z. N. Khan Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddiqui ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is also a recipient of the stolen property which was obtained by robbery and dacoity, as such, he is enjoying the parity of Debasish Samanta - another accused, who has been granted bail in CRM(M) 128 of 2026.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail but is unable to refute the contention that the petitioner was the recipient of the stolen property. Having considered the same, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail on the ground of parity. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Susanta Maji shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees

Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Tamluk, Purba Medinipur.

If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Purba Medinipur without prior intimation to the learned trial court. Accordingly, CRM(M) 505 of 2026 is allowed.

Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
