(DB) 2745 of 2022 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 08.08.2022 in connection with Santipur Police Station Case No.354 of 2022 dated 21.04.2022 under Sections 341/325/308/34 of the Indian Penal Code subsequently charge-sheet submitted under Sections 341/326/308/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re: Nikhil Das & Anr.

... ... Petitioners Mr. Pronojit Roy ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Joydeep Roy Mrs. Sujata Das ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are in custody for about 116 days. It is further submitted petitioners have been falsely implicated in the instant case. Investigation is complete. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Balancing the nature of accusation with the period of detention suffered by the petitioners, we are of the opinion further detention of the accused/petitioners is not necessary.

Therefore, the accused/petitioners, namely (1) Nikhil Das &

(2) Amrita Das @ Bhole, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranaghat, Nadia subject to condition that the said petitioners shall appear before the trial court on

every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event they fail to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail automatically without reference to this court. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
