Case No.596/2025 dated 15.07.2025 under Sections 110/117(2)/126(2)/351(2)/3(5) of BNS. And In the matter of: Mir Suraj Ali & Ors.
.... petitioners Mr. Debabrata Mondal, Ms. Sonali Das, Ms. Sreetama Neogi, Mr. Chinmoy Mukherjee.
...for the petitioners.
Ms. Manisha Sharma, Mr. Nirupam Dhali.
...for the State.
Heard the learned counsels for the parties.
Perused the case diary.
Considering the materials available in the case diary including the statements of witnesses and the injury reports although I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, the movement of the petitioner nos.1, 2 and 4 deserves to be restricted for a limited period.
Accordingly, 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, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha
Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall meet the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till submission of report in final form and shall stay outside the jurisdiction of Mothabari Police Station for a period of six months from this date except for the purpose of attending the jurisdictional Court or for meeting the Investigating Officer.
The application for anticipatory bail being CRM (A) 3516 of 2025 is, thus, allowed.
Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
