And In Re : Anurag Kumar Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. S. Saha ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Shiladitya Banerjee Mr. Subhajit Choudhury ... For the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than a year. Learned counsel points out that the allegation can at best be under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code since charge sheet has been submitted only against three persons. All the alleged incriminating articles have been recovered. Vulnerable witnesses are yet to be examined. Further detention of the petitioner is not required. He prays for bail. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. The petitioner has been identified in test identification parade. Incriminating material has been seized at his instance. Two witnesses have been examined.

Considering the material on record and extent of involvement of the petitioner in the alleged offence, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
