Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. Two co-accuseds were enlarged on bail on May 11, 2022. The police filed charge-sheet.
The first two petitioners are female members. In such circumstances, considering the fact that the police filed charge-sheet, the gravity of the offence and the
involvement of the petitioners in the incident, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
Accordingly, we direct that 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, 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 and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.
This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Bibhas Ranjan De, J.)
