No. 29 sdas Allowed C.R.M. 5968 of 2021 (via video conference) In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Raghunathpur Police Station Case No. 99 of 2021 dated 23.08.2021 under Sections 341/353/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Somenath Nandi ...... petitioner Mr. Suman De .....for the petitioner Mr. Binay Panda Mr. Subham Bhakat Ms. Puspita Saha ....for the State Ms. Minoti Gomes ..... for the defacto complainant Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner was falsely implicated due to fall out of political rivalry.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws attention of the Court to the statement recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that 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, 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 further conditions that the petitioner shall meet the investigating officer once in a week until further orders and shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Ananda Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
