...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Joydeep Roy, Ms. Sujata Das.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody 49 days. Co-accuseds have been granted pre-arrest bail. There is delay in lodging the first information report. Petitioner prays for bail. . Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Co-accuseds have been granted pre-arrest bail. There is delay in lodging the first information report. Under such circumstances, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, 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 learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranaghat, Nadia subject to condition that he shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall

not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

This application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Ajay Kumar Gupta,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
