-AndIn the matter of : Subhankar Mondal ... ... Petitioner Mr. Asraf Mandal, Advocate ... ... For the Petitioner Mr. Debabrata Chaterjee, Ld. APP Mr. Santanu Chatterjee, Advocates ... ...For the State Report as called for by the order dated March 28, 2022 filed in Court be taken on record.

Considering the contention of the petitioner that the disputes between the petitioner and the de facto complainant stood settled, a report was called for by the order dated March 28, 2022 on such aspect. It appears from the report that the de facto complainant is presently residing at her matrimonial home with the petitioner.

In such view, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall 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 be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner

shall report before the Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear every day before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

CRM (A) 1420 of 2022 is disposed of.
