And In Re : Prasenjit Hari @ Prosenjit ... Petitioner. Mr. Sumit Kr. Basu Mr. S. S. Basu Mr. Tridip Sen Mr. Abhijit Adhikari Ms. S. Naskar ...for the petitioner.
Mr. Anand Keshari Ms. Sima Biswas ...for the State.
Heard learned counsels for the parties.
The petitioner is in custody for more than 2 years and seeks parity with the co accused who is on bail. Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner filed successive applications under Section 207 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for supply of copies as well as for alteration of charge before the learned trial Court, thereby causing delay in trial. I have considered the material on record. The petitioner appears to be similarly circumstanced with the co accused on bail and deserves the same benefit. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.
The petitioner Prasenjit Hari @ Prosenjit be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten
Thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bidhannagar subject to condition that he shall remain within the jurisdiction of Bidhannagar Cyber Crime Police Commissionerate and shall furnish the address where he shall henceforth reside before the learned trial Court and the Investigating Officer. He shall provide his mobile phone number to the learned Trial Court as well as the Investigating Officer and shall not change the same without prior intimation to the said authorities. He shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
In the event the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions as stated above without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is thus disposed of. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
