....petitioners.

Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Ms. Dhanasree Biswas ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, Ld. APP Ms. Sonali Das ...for the State.

04.08.2022 Sl.25 Court No.29 (AD) (Allowed) Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail on the ground of parity with the other co-accused who was enlarged on anticipatory bail on July 25, 2022 in CRM (A) 3510 of 2022. Learned Advocate appearing for the State does not dispute the claim for parity.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioners will report before the Investigating Officer once a week till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the

jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

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

C.R.M. (A) 3731 of 2022 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Bibhas Ranjan De, J.)
