And In Re: Debabrata Mahapatra & Anr.

... ... Petitioners Ms. Rabia Khatoon ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Arup Kumar Mondal ... ... for the State Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the general and omnibus nature of allegations and as the injuries noted in the medical papers are simple and investigation is complete, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioners may not be necessary in the facts of the present case and they may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioners, namely (1) Debabrata Mahapatra & (2) Subrata Mahapatra, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
