And In the matter of: Rebati Ranjan Ghosh ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Shiladitya Banerjee Mr. Arnab Chatterjee ...for the petitioner Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Mr. Atanu Ghosh ..for the State Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Mr. S. Balial ...for the de facto It is submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the petitioner that the allegation made against the present petitioner is false and fabricated. Moreover, he had no role in the entire scenario which was evident from FIR itself. However, he prays for enlargement of bail as he will follow all other conditions, if any, to impose upon to abide by all the conditions.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the de facto complainant submits that it is a case of hooliganism and fact remains that he was present in the principal's chamber. Investigation is going on. Learned counsel for the State raises an objection and submits that investigation is still going on and period of detention of the petitioner is about 21 days only.

Heard the submissions of the learned advocates of the parties and after going through the materials available on records and also including the contents of FIR, the statement made under Section 164 of Cr.PC and the extant rules attributed by the petitioner, this Court is of the view that further custodial interrogation is not necessary. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail to the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, I direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.5,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandannagar at Hooghly with a further condition that the petitioner is directed to co-operate the Investigating Authority as and when required and shall attend the learned Trial Court on all the dates as fixed for hearing.

It is further directed that the petitioner shall not tamper with evidence and/or influence the witnesses in any manner whatsoever. It is made clear that in the event the petitioner fails to comply with any of the aforesaid directions, without justifiable cause, the learned Court below shall be at liberty to cancel his bail without any further reference to this Court.

The application is, thus, disposed of.
