And In the matter of: Rintu Biswas ....petitioner.

Ms. Minoti Gomes ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Sandip Chakraborty ...for the State.

Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was falsely implicated. There was a relationship between the petitioner and the victim girl. Learned Advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Considering the nature of involvement of the petitioner and the statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the victim girl, 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that he shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight until further

orders and that he shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date. The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. 2954 of 2021 is, thus, disposed of.
