(DB) 1935 of 2022 sl no. 36 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Nabagram P.S case no. 242 of 2021 dated 20.9.2021 under section 304/34 IPC And Allowed In Re : Susanta Mandal @ Susanta Mondal ...... petitioner Mr. S Adhikari ...... for the petitioner Ms. A Sinha Mr. P K Mitra ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for 99 days. It is contended coaccuseds have been granted bail. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail. Having considered materials on record and bearing in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime and as co-accuseds similarly circumstanced with the petitioner have been enlarged on bail, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner also.

Accordingly, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Lalbagh, Murshidabad on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application being CRM (DB) 1935 of 2022 is disposed of.
