And In the matter of:

XXX ... petitioner Ms. Subhasree Patel Mr. Saikat Mondal Ms. Debdattya Karmakar ... for the petitioner Mr. Arindam Sen Ms. Suveni Banerjee ... for the State Mr. Anand Keshari ... for the de facto complainant Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the exonerative statement given by the alleged victim before a learned Magistrate and the fact that the charge-sheet has been submitted, 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/- (rupees ten thousand) 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 the further conditions that the petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.

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