M. 6378 of 2021 [via video conferencing] In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 15.09.2021 in connection with Ranaghat Police Station Case No. 140 of 2021 dated 02.06.2021 under Sections 448/326/307 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re: Amit Dutta ... ... Petitioner Ms. Sananda Bhattacharyya ... ... for the petitioner Ms. Zareen N. Khan Ms. Sreeparna Das ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for about 191 days. It is further submitted that investigation is complete. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case particularly the period of detention suffered by the petitioner and as investigation is complete, we are of the opinion that further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary. Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Amit Dutta, be released on bail upon furnishing a 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, Ranaghat, Nadia subject to condition that the said petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Bivas Pattanayak, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
