...Petitioner

Mr. Niladri Sekhar Ghosh Ms. Sompurna Chatterjee Ms. Labani Sikder Mr. Souvik Dey ...for the petitioner Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddiqui ...for the State 1.

Principal accused is still in custody.

2.

Allegation against the petitioner before us apparently is that she used abusive language. 3.

Considering the gender of the petitioner, nature of the incident and involvement therein, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners 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 co-operate with 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.
