1. Heard learned Counsel for the parties.

2. It is contended on behalf of the petitioners that the present accused person who is a school teacher has been falsely implicated in this case out of political rivalry.

3. While opposing the prayer for anticipatory bail, learned Counsel for the State draws our attention to the statement of the witnesses as recorded under Section 161 as well as under Sections 164 Cr.P.C. and the post mortem report.

4. On perusal of the post mortem report, we find at least five fatal injuries on the head of the victim which opined to be the cause of homicidal death of the victim. Admittedly, the name of the present petitioner along with other co-accused persons are transpiring in the CD especially, from the statement of the witnesses as mentioned supra.

5. However, considering the fact that investigation has already

been completed, we do not find any necessity of custodial interrogation of the present petitioner.

Regard being had to such facts and submissions, factum of permanent residence of the petitioner, nature of allegation and completion of investigation, it is directed that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lalbahg, Murshidabad in G.R.

7. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed.

8. The application being CRM (A) 4315 of 2023 is disposed of.

9. Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lalbahg, Murshidabad is hereby directed to act upon the server copy of this order, if required.
