And Court No.29 (Allowed) In the matter of: Jhantu Ghosh & Ors.

....petitioners.

Mr. Prabir Majumder Mr. Snehansu Majumder ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Saibal Bapuli, Ld. APP Mr. Arani Bhattacharyya ...for the State.

Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the police submitted charge sheet and, therefore, custodial interrogation of the petitioners are not required. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor refers to the injury of the victim.

The victim suffered cut injury over the forehead. The injury report does not specify the injury to be grievous in nature. Considering the fact that the police submitted charge sheet and considering the materials in the case diary, 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/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each 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 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.

The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 2224 of 2022 is disposed of.
