And In Re :

Sanju Das ... Petitioner.

Sr. Adv. Ayan Bhattacharjee, Adv. Pradip Kuamr Kundu, Adv. Pratik Basu, Adv. Shashwata Sadhukhan ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Bibaswan Bhattacharya, Adv. Suparna Chatterjee ... for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about 10 months and has no nexus with the alleged offence.

Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that besides being present at the residence of the principal accused when the alleged seizure was made, he has no other involvement in the alleged crime.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer and submits that out of 9 witnesses, one witness has been examined. I have considered the material on record.

The petitioner was found to be present at the residence of one Shreyashee Das which is a rented accommodation taken by one Mayank Didwania. He was present at the time of seizure of certain incriminating articles from the said house. Such seizure was not made at his instance. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Considering the material on record and extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, this Court is inclined to hold that further detention of the petitioner is not required and he may released on bail.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Sanju Das be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kalyani, Nadia subject to the condition that he shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing. He shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court on any date without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
