-Vs.- The State of West Bengal In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Gazole P.S. Case No.463/2022 dated 15.06.2022 under Section 136 (1)(a) of the Electricity Act. Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ..... For the Petitioners Mr. Tanmoy Kumar Ghosh .....For the State The petitioners are in custody since 26th June, 2022, more than 60 days have passed. There has been recovery pursuant to the statement of the petitioners.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that in view of the detention of the petitioners and the fact that there has been no further progress in the investigation for about a month, further detention of the petitioners are unwarranted. Mr. Ghosh, learned advocate appearing for the State produces the Case Diary and draws the attention to the seizure list reflecting the recoveries.

I have considered the complicity of the petitioners, however, having regard to the period of detention of the petitioners, I am of the opinion that further detention is unwarranted. Accordingly, the petitioners shall furnish 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 Judge, Special Court, 1st Court, Malda. If on bail, the petitioners shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case once in a fortnight till submission of the charge-sheet.

Thus, the prayer for bail is allowed.

With the aforesaid directions, C.R.M.(SB) 203 of 2022 is disposed of.

All parties are directed to act on the server copy of this order downloaded from the official website of this Hon'ble Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be made available to the parties upon compliance of the requisite formalities.
