And In Re : Ashim Chatterjee @ Asim Kumar Chatterjee ...... petitioner Ms. Minoti Gomes Md. Hafiz Ali ....for the petitioner Ms. Faria Hossain Ms. Baisali Basu Ms. Mamata Jana ....for the State There is a counter police complaint.

There was a free fight between the private parties, apparently.

The injuries suffered in the present police case, apparently, are not of grievous hurt.

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/-, 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 meet the Investigating Officer once a month 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.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
