And In Re : Syed Serajul Islam & Anr. ..... petitioners Mr. Bhaskar Hutait ..... for the petitioners Mr. Prasun Kumar Datta, learned APP Mr. Santanu Deb Roy ..... for the State Mr. Kallol Mondal Mr. Krishan Roy Ms. Amrita Chel Mr. Souvik Das Mr. Anamitra Banerjee ..... for the defacto complainant Petitioners renew their prayer for bail. It is submitted by the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners that they are in custody for 190 days.

Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes prayer for bail.

Learned Counsel appearing for the defacto complainant also opposes prayer for bail.

We have considered the statements of witnesses. From their statements, it appears the petitioners are the principal assailants and do not stand on the same footing with the co-

accused persons who have already been enlarged on bail. Their prayer for bail was rejected earlier on October, 2021 and there is hardly any change in circumstances since then. Thus, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. The application for bail is, accordingly, rejected. (Bivas Pattanayak, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)

And In Re : Rabish Kumar Upadhyay ..... petitioner Mr. Asraf Ali ... for the petitioner Mr. Debojyoti Deb ... for the State Having considered the materials on record prima facie disclosing involvement of the petitioner in the alleged crime of misappropriation of monies of the innocent depositors and the fact that the petitioner has absconded for a protracted period of time, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected. (Rajarshi Bharadwaj, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
