And In the matter of: Tarun Kanti Chandra ....petitioner.

Mr. Pratip Kumar Chatterjee ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, Ld. APP Ms. Puspita Saha ... for the State.

The police case is registered on the basis of an order passed under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Apparently, there were transactions between the private parties of the year 2020. Contemporaneous letters were exchanged. Materials in the case diary do not suggest requirement of custodial interrogation.

In such circumstances, we 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioner will report before the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date 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. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 793 of 2024 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
