Mr. Parvej Anam.

..for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners were granted anticipatory bail by this Court on 15.07.2024 in connection with CRM (A) 2379 of 2024. However, due to miscommunication with their learned advocate, the petitioners could not surrender within the stipulated time, although the Court had directed the petitioners to surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail. The present applicant being the petitioner no.12 was working in North Bengal. He wants to surrender at the earliest.

Heard the learned counsel for the State.

However, I am satisfied with the explanation provided for not being able to surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within time.

In view of the above and the in the interest of justice, I dispose of the application by extending the time to surrender and pray for bail before the learned jurisdictional Court by a fortnight from this date. The other conditions of the order dated 15.07.2024 shall remain the same.

The applications being CRAN 1 of 2025 and CRAN 2 of 2026 are disposed of.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
