... petitioners Mr. Apurba Kumar Datta.

...for the petitioners.

Mr. Suman De, Mr. Sujan Chatterjee.

...for the State.

Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the nature of allegations, the fact that the prosecution case is based mainly on statement of co-accused so far as the present petitioners are concerned, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioners. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioners shall cooperate

with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and the petitioner no.1 shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. (A) 3149 of 2025 is, thus, allowed.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
