And In Re :

Sagir Ansari ... Petitioner.

Adv. Suman Chakraborty, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Sanjay Banerjee, Adv. Dattareya Dutta, ... for the State.

Report submitted by the State is taken on record. The petitioner is in custody for more than 400 days and prays for bail.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner is the supplier of the fire arms recovered from the possession of the co-accused. The money taken for the said transaction was deposited in the bank account of the petitioner's son. The petitioner has three criminal antecedents of the same nature. He is a resident of Bihar and may abscond if granted bail at this stage.

I have considered the material on record.

The money allegedly paid for purchase of fire arm was found in the bank account of the petitioner's son. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Considering the material on record and extent of involvement of the petitioner in the alleged offence, this Court is of the view that further detention of the petitioner is not required and he may

released on bail subject to stringent conditions in order to secure his attendance before the learned trial Court. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Sagir Ansari 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hooghly subject to the condition that he shall remain within the jurisdiction of the district of Hooghly and shall furnish the address where he shall presently reside before the learned trial Court, Investigating Officer and the Officer in charge of the concerned police station under whose jurisdiction he shall henceforth reside. He shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions stated above, 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.
