Case No.1457 of 2024 dated 09.10.2024 under Sections 115(2)/126(2)/303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In the matter of: Sushanta Sarkar @ Godai ....Petitioner.

Mr. Musharraf Alam Sk.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Bidyut Kumar Roy Mr. Karan Bapuli ....for the State.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary and the allegations imputed, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

In the event of arrest, 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 Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall co-operate with investigation, shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
