Public Prosecutor Mr. Santanu Chatterjee ... ... for the State

1. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is not the principal accused. Principal accused has been enlarged on bail. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime and as she is a lady, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary in the facts of the present case and she may be granted anticipatory bail.

3. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely Tarulata Biswas, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

4. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Partha Sarathi Sen, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
