Mr. U S Chattopadhyay Ms. S Saha Mr. R Tah Ms. T Rakshit Ms. A Karmakar ...... for the petitioner Mr. R D Nandy Ms. Sonali Das ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for 109 days. It is contended that he has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Co-accused Dibakar Jana is on bail.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the bail. We have considered the materials on record. Co-accused Dibakar Jana i.e. 'Sabhadhipati' of Panchayat Samity is on bail. Petitioner is the 'Pradhan' of the Panchayat. He stands on a similar footing and may be extended the same relief. Accordingly, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned CJM Purba Medinipur at Tamluk on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application being CRM (DB) 1490 of 2023 is disposed of.
