Case No.167 of dated 26.03.2024 under Sections 341/324/307/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Anup Mandal ....Petitioner.

Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ...for the petitioner Ms. Baisali Basu Mr. Sourat Nandy ....for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the fact that substantially similarly circumstanced co-accused were granted anticipatory bail earlier and the fact that 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/- 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 not threaten or intimidate witnesses, shall attend the jurisdictional Court regularly and shall surrender before the jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date.

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.
