By such order dated October 16, 2023, the petitioner was enlarged on an interim anticipatory bail.

It is submitted at the bar that, the interim anticipatory bail was passed just prior to the ensuing puja vacation without considering the materials in the case diary.

Apparently, an incident of assault took place between the rival political parties. A number of persons suffered injuries. None of the injuries are classified as grievous. In such circumstances, we confirm the interim order dated October 16, 2023.

Accordingly, we direct that 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, 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 and on further condition that the petitioners will meet the Investigating Officer once a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the Jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
