Ayan Kumar Das v. State Of West Bengal

23.08.2022 Ct. No. 29 KAUSHIK Allowed C.R.M.(A) 4011 of 2022 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with AJC Bose B. Garden Police Station Case No. 47 of 2022 dated 24.03.2022 under Sections 420/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

And In Re : Ayan Kumar Das ...... petitioner Mr. Kallol Mondal Mr. Pronojit Roy Mr. Debasis Mitra Mr. Souvik Das ....for the petitioner Mr. Ranabir Roychowdhury Mr. Sandip Chakraborty ....for the State Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail on the strength of the order dated August 4, 2022 passed in CRM(A) 3318 of 2022. Learned advocate appearing for the State submits that, the petitioner cannot claim parity since the petitioner is the bank employee.

Apparently, there was a family arrangement on the basis of which the petitioner and his wife were acting. The wife of the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail on August 4, 2022 passed in CRM(A) 3318 of 2022.

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

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, 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 further condition that the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioner 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 petitioner 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.)
