And In Re : Ehesanara Begam & Ors.

...... petitioners Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee ....for the petitioners Mr. Tanmoy Kumar Ghosh Ms. Pritha Paul ....for the State Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that, the incident arose out of previous disputes between the private parties.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the injured recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.), the seizure list and the injury reports of the victims. The injury reports of the victim do not speak that the victims suffered grievous hurt.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the fact that the

petitioner before us are ladies, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, 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 petitioners shall cooperate with the Investigating Officer till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear every day 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 petitioners 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.) (Bibhas Ranjan De, J.)
