1. Report filed by the State be kept with the records.

2. The applicant/petitioner was granted bail by an order dated June 9, 2023, passed by a co-ordinate Bench, in CRM (DB) 2197 of 2023, inter alia, on the condition that he "shall not enter the jurisdiction of Chinsurah Police Station except for the purpose of attending court proceedings and shall provide the address where he shall presently reside to the said officer-incharge as well as court below".

3. The applicant/petitioner says that he has been scrupulously complying with all the conditions of bail since June, 2023.

furnished his current residential address to the Officer-inCharge of Pandua Police Station. He now seeks waiver of the aforesaid condition of bail.

4. Learned State Counsel files a report in Court today. Let the same be kept with the records. We find nothing adverse in that report as against the applicant/petitioner.

5. It appears from the report that the petitioner/applicant is complying with the conditions of bail. There appears to be very little possibility of an early conclusion of the trial.

6. Therefore, we are inclined to allow the applicant/petitioner's prayer for relaxation of condition of bail.

7. Accordingly, the condition requiring the applicant/petitioner to stay outside the jurisdiction of Chinsurah Police Station is waived. He shall furnish his current residential address to the jurisdictional Police Station. He must attend the Court proceedings on each and every date.

8. The other conditions of bail shall remain unaltered.

9. The application being IA No: CRAN/1/2024 is accordingly disposed of.
