Mr. Shiladitya Banerjee.

...for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioners are in custody for over one month.

Balancing the nature of accusation with the period of detention suffered by the petitioners, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nadia at Krishnagar subject to condition that they shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioners fail to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
