Raja Ghosh.

... Petitioner.

Adv. Arnab Mukherjee, Adv. Hiranmoy Debnath, Adv. Shreyasi Manna ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Shaila Afrin, Adv. Debangshu Ghorai, ... for the State.

Report submitted by the State is taken on record. The victim is not represented despite service. The petitioner seeks parity with co-accused Sonu Shaw who has been granted bail by this Court.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner has been identified in T.I. Parade and also named by the victim in her statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

I have considered the material on record.

Both Sonu Shaw and the petitioner were named and identified by the victim. Sonu Shaw is on bail. The case is fixed for hearing argument.

The petitioner being similarly circumstanced with co-accused Sonu Shaw who has been granted bail by this Court, he deserves the same benefit.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Raja Ghosh 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, Kalyani, Nadia subject to the condition that he shall not enter the jurisdiction of Kalyani Police Station except for the purpose of appearing before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed before it and shall furnish the address where he shall presently reside before the learned trial Court, Investigating officer and the Officer in charge of the police station under whose jurisdiction he shall henceforth reside. He 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, 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 disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

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.
