And In the matter of: Khurshid Ansari @ Pintu ....petitioner.

Mr. Milon Mukherjee, Sr. Adv.

Mr. Biswajit Manna Mr. Soumya Basu Roy Chowdhury ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Madhusudan Sur, Ld. APP, Mr. Dipankar Paramanick ... for the State.

Mr. Syed Shahid Imam Mr. Ramashis Mukherjee Mr. Sakya Maity ...for the defacto complainant.

Petitioner prays for bail on the ground of parity. Learned senior advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is standing in the same footing with the co-accused Rohit Jaiswal and Nehal Ali Ansari who were granted bail by the two benches of this Hon'ble Court. Learned advocate appearing for the State does not dispute the claim for parity.

Learned advocate appearing for the defacto complainant opposes the prayer for grant of bail.

Considering the materials in the case diary and considering the fact that the petitioner herein can justifiably claim parity with that of the co-accused who was enlarged on bail by the co-ordinate bench on February 18, 2022 and the coaccused who was granted bail by this Hon'ble Court on March

10, 2022, we extend the same facility to the petitioner. Consequently, we grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Howrah subject to the condition that during bail he shall appear before the learned trial court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioner fails to comply with the conditions as enshrined hereinbefore, it is open to the trial court to cancel the bail without any further reference to this Court.

The application for bail being C.R.M. (DB) 921 of 2022 is, thus, disposed of.
