....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Santanu Kumar Sen Ms. Reshmi Khatun Mr. Subhamoy Dutta ...for the petitioners Ms. Baisali Basu Ms. Mousumi Sarkar ..for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the nature of allegations that the altercation happened when the two sets of neighbours who wanted to settle a dispute and considering the materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

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, 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 conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence and shall co-operate with investigation. The petitioner no.1 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
