And In the matter of: Mukul Chand Dey & Anr.

....Petitioners.

Mr. Aditya Chakraborty Mr. Anirban Ghosh ...for the petitioners.

Ms. Tanusree Kar .....for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. There was a scuffle between neighbours. Injuries were suffered on both sides, but none was grievous in nature. There are case and counter case.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She refers to the statements of witnesses and the injury reports, which, however, do not show infliction of any grievous injury. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that there are case and counter case, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 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, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the

Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioners shall cooperate with investigation, shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and the petitioner no. 1 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
