The petitioners seek parity with the co-accused who have been granted bail earlier.
Learned counsel for the State does not oppose the said fact. Considering the fact that the petitioners are similarly circumstanced with the co-accused on bail, they deserve the same benefit.
Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.
The petitioners namely Bhatu Sk. @ Votu and Badre Alam Sk. be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lalbagh, Murshidabad, subject to the condition that they shall remain outside the jurisdiction of Nabagram Police Station except for attending the Court proceedings and shall provide the address where they shall presently reside to the learned trial Court, Investigating Officer and the Officer in charge of the concerned police station under whose
jurisdiction they shall henceforth reside. The petitioners shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
In the event the petitioners fail to adhere to any of the conditions stated above, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.
The application for bail is disposed of.
Case Diary be returned.
All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
