And In Re : Surajit Samanta & Anr.

...... petitioners Ms. Devi Priya Mitra ....for the petitioners Mr. S. G. Mukherjee, learned Public Prosecutor Mr. Aniket Mitra ....for the State Petitioners renew the prayer for anticipatory bail. The petitioners are neighbours.

The earlier application for anticipatory bail was dismissed as not pressed.

Two other co-accuseds were granted anticipatory bail. The police filed charge-sheet.

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/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, 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 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.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Bibhas Ranjan De, J.)
