Ms. Trina Mitra ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for 85 days. He submits co-accuseds have been enlarged on bail.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Co-accuseds have been granted bail. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime and as co-accuseds have been granted bail, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioner also.

Accordingly, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Arambagh, Hooghly on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on

every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application being CRM(DB) No. 2850 of 2022 is disposed of.
