And In Re: Jakaria Mondal & Anr.

... ... Petitioners Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Ms. Soma Mal Ms. Rabia Khatun Ms. Madhurai Singa ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Neguive Ahmed .. ld. Addl. Public Prosecutor Mr. Iqbal Kabir ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are in custody for more than a year. Co-accused has been enlarged on bail. Accordingly, they pray for bail.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Co-accused has been enlarged on bail. Under such circumstances, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioners also. Therefore, the petitioners, namely (1) Jakaria Mondal & (2) Sahabul Mondal, be released on bail upon furnishing a 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Murshidabad at Berhampore subject to condition that the said petitioners 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 they fail to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail automatically without reference to this court. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
