01.03.2024 sdas allowed CRM (DB) No. 653 of 2024 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Titagarh Police Station Case No. 684 of 2022 dated 17.11.2022 under Sections 326/307/506 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Rabi Singh @ Buchu ...... petitioner Mr. Debasis Kar ....for the petitioner Mr. Manoranjan Mahata .... for the State 1.

Heard the learned Counsels for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record.

Petitioner is in custody for more than a year. There is little possibility of trial concluding in the near future. Balancing the nature of accusation with the period of detention suffered by the petitioner and as there is no chance of abscondence, we are inclined to grant bail to him.

3. Accordingly, we direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barrackpore, North 24 Parganas, subject to conditions that petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate the witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

4. In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

5. The application for bail is, accordingly, allowed. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
