And In Re : Abu Taher & Ors. ...... petitioners Mr. Samim Ahmed Ms. G. Pervin Ms. S. Bhattacharya .....for the petitioners Mr. Avik Ghatak ....for the State Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that, they were falsely implicated in order to prevent the petitioners from participating in a vote of the Panchayet. State is represented.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the materials in the case diary, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the

satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall meet the investigating officer once in a month until further orders and shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Ananda Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
