....petitioners.

Mr. Amitabha Karmakar Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Iqbal Kabir ...for the State.

Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.1 is on bail in the earlier police compliant and the petitioner no.2 is on anticipatory bail. Learned Advocate appearing for the state draws the attention of the Court to the contents in the case diary. Considering the gravity of the offences and considering the fact that the petitioners were enlarged on bail in the previous police complaint and considering the fact that the police submitted charge sheet, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

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 also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that they

shall appear before the jurisdictional Court on the dates fixed for trial and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date. The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. 5114 of 2021 is, thus, disposed of.
