Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody from 24.04.2025. It has been submitted that investigation of the case has already been concluded, charge-sheet has been submitted before the jurisdictional court and the case being based on documents, further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and produces the case diary. It has been submitted on behalf of the State that case diary reflects money trail to the tune of Rs.33,000/- and Rs.8,000/- being traced to the account of the accused. The accused, according to the prosecution case, promised for providing job at a private Bank to the complainant and others. The prosecution is still carrying out the investigation

and two supplementary charge-sheets have been submitted and intends to file further charge-sheet.

I have taken into consideration the materials which have been collected by the prosecution including the opinion of the handwriting expert. Having regard to the materials collected and the case being based on documentary evidence, I am of the opinion that further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Biplub Banerjee alias Papan shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kalyani. If on bail, the petitioner shall continue to meet with the Investigating Officer of the case once a week as also as and when called for till the same is waived by the learned court in seisin of the case.
