And In the matter of: Nimai Chandra Sarkar ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Ranojoy Chatterjee Mr. Tamal Singha Roy ...for the petitioner Mrs. Subhashree Patel Mr. Aritra Bhattacharya ...for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the nature of allegations and the materials available in the case diary, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

However, 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, one of whom must be local, 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 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioner shall co-operate with investigation. The

petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a week till submission of report in final form. The petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses or in any manner get in touch with the concerned B.D.O except in respect of legal proceedings.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
