(A) 2812 of 2022 In Re: An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 14.06.2022 in connection with Durgapur Police Station Case No. 490 of 2021 dated 25.10.2021 under Sections 354/506/34/417/376 of the Indian Penal Code. (G.R. Case No.1770 of 2021) And In Re: Abhimanyu Kumar Keshri ... ... Petitioner Mr. Avik Ghatak Mr. Fahad Imam ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Goutam Wilson ... ... for the State Heard the learned advocate appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Victim was a major lady at the time of cohabitation and was aware of the consequences thereof. In view of the aforesaid fact, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner may not be necessary in the facts of the present case and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely Abhimanyu Kumar Keshri, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), 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 petitioner 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.)
