...for the petitioner.

Mr. Imran Ali, Ms. Debadrita Mondal.

...for the State.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that two other co-accused had been granted bail upon surrender, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. Accordingly, 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 Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that he shall meet the Investigating

Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

The application for anticipatory bail being CRM (A) 1975 of 2025 is, thus, allowed.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
