Mr. Tauhid Khan, Mr. Alok Mondal ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Neguive Ahmed, Ld. A.P.P.

Ms. Amita Gaur ...for the State.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is not the principal accused.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court. (Subhasis Dasgupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
