06.06.2022.

73.

(S. Banerjee) (Allowed).

C.R.M.(A) 2311 of 2022 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 17.05.2022 in connection with Dankuni P. S. Case No.45/2022 dated 08.02.2022 under Sections 420/120B of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 63/65 of the Copyright Act. In the matter of : Kaushal Shrivastva ... Petitioner Mr. Surip Ghosh Chowdhury Mr. Argha Das .....for the Petitioner.

Ms. Faria Hossain Mr. Anand Keshari .....for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has been falsely implicated in the instant case.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

We have considered the materials on record. The alleged incriminating products have already been seized. Under such circumstances, though custodial interrogation for progress of investigation is not necessary, petitioner requires to cooperate with investigation in accordance with law.

Hence, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

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 each, 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 and on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date and on a further condition that the petitioner shall meet the investigation officer once in a week.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
