Petitioner is in custody for 139 days. Co-accused has been enlarged on bail by this court. Petitioner stands on the same footing with the co-accused.

Under such circumstances, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioner also.

Accordingly, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM Ranaghat on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing 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 being CRM (DB) 2529 of 2023 is disposed of.
