...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Debasish Roy, ld. P.P., Mr. Arijit Ganguly, Mr. Koushik Kundu.

...for the State.

1.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the victim shows she had voluntarily left her residence with the petitioner.

3.

Nobody appears for the victim inspite of notice. 4.

Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact and period of detention suffered by the petitioner i.e. 83 days, we are inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

5.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Annash Dewan 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 Judge, Special Court under the POCSO Act, Kandi, Murshidabad 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. 6.

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.

7. This application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : ALOK SETH High Court of Calcutta 13 th of September 2024 06:41:07 PM
