Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya Mr. Abhik Sen ...for the petitioners Mr. Siladitya Banerjee Mr. Asif Dewan ..for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the materials available in the case diary including the injury report which shows inflicting of grievous injury and the statements of witnesses including that of the victim and the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners, While I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner no.2, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.1 is rejected. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.2 is allowed.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner no.2 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 conditions that the petitioner no.2 shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall co-operate with investigation. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
