Petitioner is in custody for about two years. He submits there is no possibility of trial concluding in the near future. He prays for bail.

Learned lawyer for the state opposes the bail prayer. 3.

We have considered the materials on record. Offences even if proved would not attract mandatory life imprisonment. Petitioner is in custody for a considerable period of time. There is no possibility of trial concluding in the near future. 4.

Under such circumstances we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, the petitioner 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 ACJM Barasat North 24 Parganas on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
