And In the matter of: Anupam Banerjee & Anr.

....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Gouranga Kr. Das Ms. Poulami Dutta ...for the petitioners Mr. Provash Bhattacharyya Mr. Dipankar Mahata ...for the State Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

It appears that a scuffle took place between the family members resulting in injuries. However, the injuries were not grievous in nature.

Considering the above and the materials available in the case diary and the fact that the petitioners have complied with the notice issued under Section 35(3) of the BNSS, 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 petitioners. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

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 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 condition that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses and shall co-operate with investigation. The petitioner no. 1 shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of the report in final form.

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