And In the matter of: Md. Iftekhar @ Md. Ifthkar ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Bidyut Kr. Halder Mr. Indranil Halder Ms. Neha Singh ...for the petitioner Ms. Sreyashee Biswas ...for the CESC Ms. Shaila Afreen Mr. Tirupati Mukherjee ..for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Receipt for payment filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

Considering the materials available in the case diary and the fact that without prejudice, the petitioner has paid 50% of the finally assessed amount to the Electricity Authorities, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall 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 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 conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall cooperate with the investigation. The petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
