for the State Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the belated implication of the petitioner who was not named in the FIR in the light of the apprehension expressed regarding false implication owing to political differences, we are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner is not necessary in the facts of the present case and he may be granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely Bikash Ray, 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.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. All concerned authorities shall act in terms of the copy downloaded from the official website of this court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
