C.R.M. (A) 2802 of 2022 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed in connection with Chakdaha P. S. Case No.251 of 2022 dated 26.04.2022 under Sections 363/365/325/326/376/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the POCSO Act. In the matter of : Nripen Biswas & Ors.

... Petitioners.

Ms. Minoti Gomes.

...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Sujan Chatterjee.

.....for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. It is submitted that the petitioners are the relations of the principal accused.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioners are not the principal accuseds. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime, we are of the opinion though custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary and they may be granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the

conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioners shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
