And In Re : Selim Sekh @ Selim Dekh & Anr.

...... petitioners Mr. A. K. Chakraborty Mr. S. Burman ....for the petitioners Mr. Sujan Chatterjee ....for the State Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that, the petitioners are parents of the principal accused and that they were without any knowledge of the incident. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.). Considering the 164 Cr.P.C. statement of the victim, the materials in the case diary and the involvement of the petitioners in the incident, 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 petitioner no. 1 (Selim Sekh @ Selim Dekh) shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner no. 2 (Rehena Bibi) 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.)
