And In the matter of: Simanta Mandal @ Srimanta Mandal. ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Kingsuk Mondal ...for the petitioner Ms. Sayanti Santra Mr. Sharequl Haque ..for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the fact that the only material against the petitioner is the statement of the co-accused, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall 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 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 conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall cooperate with investigation. The petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
