as (Allowed) C.R.M. (DB) 2361 of 2022 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Swarupnagar P. S. Case No.620 of 2022 dated 15.06.2022 under Sections 14A(b) of the Foreigners Act.

In the matter of : Akhlima Khatun @ Akhi Khatun. .... Petitioner.

Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty, Mr. S. S. Saha.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Prasun Kr. Datta, ld. A.P.P., Mr. S. D. Roy.

...for the State.

Heard the learned Counsels appearing on behalf of the parties.

Report is placed on record. It appears that the voter's identity card relied upon by the petitioner is a genuine document.

In view of the aforesaid and bearing in mind the nature of allegation, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner shall 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Basirhat, North 24-Paraganas subject to condition that she 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 the petitioner fails to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel her bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

This application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
