The petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per the Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up through video conference. CRAN 1 of 2020 is accordingly disposed of.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegation, we are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner for progress of investigation is not necessary and the petitioner may be granted prearrest bail. 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, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The application for anticipatory bail is, accordingly, allowed. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
