(1) Mafijul Sk.

(2) Kalu Sk.

... Petitioners Ms. Minoti Ghomes Md. Hafiz Ali ... for the Petitioners Mr. Partha Pratim Das Mr. Manoranjan Mahata ... for the State Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioners are in custody for more than a year and pray for bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer and submits that four out of eleven witnesses have been examined.

I have considered the material on record. It appears that fake currency notes were recovered from the possession of the petitioners. Search and seizure are complete. Trial is in progress. Further detention of the petitioners is not required. They may be released on bail.

Accordingly, prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioners (1) Mafijul Sk. and (2) Kalu Sk., be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kandi, Murshidabad subject to condition that they shall remain within the jurisdiction of Salar Police Station and shall furnish the address where they shall presently reside before the learned trial Court, Investigating Officer and the Officer in Charge of the concerned police station under whose jurisdiction they shall henceforth reside. They shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing. They shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioners fail to adhere to any of the conditions mentioned above without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is, thus, disposed of. Case Diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
