And In Re : Dipika Sha @ Deepika Sha & Anr.
Mr. Ayan Basu Sk. Salim ... For the Petitioners.
Mr. Joydeep Roy Mr. Nirupa Dhali ... For the State.
The petitioners seek parity with the co-accused who have been granted bail earlier on the touchstone of Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
Learned counsel for the State does not oppose the said fact.
Having regard to the fact that the petitioners are similarly circumstanced with the co-accused on bail in so far as the period of incarceration is concerned, this Court is of the view that they should be extended the same benefit. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.
The petitioners namely Dipika Sha @ Deepika Sha and Alisha Sha shall 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman subject to condition that they shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court and shall not tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses in any manner whatsoever.
In the event the petitioners fail to appear before the learned trial Court on any date fixed for hearing without any justifiable cause, the learned 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 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.
