...Petitioner

Mr. Amal Kumar Saha Mr. I. Paul ...for the petitioner Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddiqui ...for the State 1.

There is no previous criminal antecedent so far as the petitioner is concerned.

2.

As to whether the version of the petitioner with regard to the transaction is correct or the defacto's version is correct may be decided at the trial. 3.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner will 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 corresponding to Section 482(2) of

the BNSS and on further condition that the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on further 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.

5.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed.
