And In Re : Pintu Mandal @ Pintu Biswas ...... petitioner Mr. Atis Kumar Biswas Mr. Amit Singh ....for the petitioner Mr. Swapan Banerjee Mr. Suman De .... for the State Heard the learned Counsels for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is in custody for 74 days. There is no direct evidence connecting him with the murder. Co-accused, similarly circumstanced with the petitioner, had been enlarged on bail. Accordingly, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioner. Accordingly, we direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Tehatta, Nadia, subject to conditions that petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate the witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the 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, accordingly, allowed. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
