And In the matter of : Sumit Basak ...................Petitioner Mr. Souvik Mitter Mr. Manojit Debnath Ms. Atreyee Mukherjee Mr. Rhifan Chatterjee Mr. Mithun Malakar Mr. Debayan Chatterjee ....for the petitioner Mr. P.K. Dutta Ms. Suruchi Saha..........for the State

1. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also taking into consideration of the serious objection of the learned counsel for the State, I find that the investigation is complete and though the trial is going on, there is no chance of conclusion of the trial at an early stage.

2. It appears that fundamental right of an individual is infringed for not expediting the trial of the proceeding and an individual cannot be incarcerated for an indefinite period.

3. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

4. The petitioner, namely Sumit Basak shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) with two sureties of Rs. 50,000/-(Rupees Fifty Thousand) each out of which one must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barrackpore, North 24-Parganas and on further condition that the petitioner shall meet the Officer-in-Charge of the local Police Station, where he shall reside twice in a week until further orders.

5. The petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate the witnesses and/or tamper with evidence and/or commit any cognizable offence in any manner whatsoever.

6. In the event the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions stipulated above without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the petitioner's bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

7. The application for bail is, accordingly, allowed.

8. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Apurba Sinha Ray, J.)
