-AndIn the matter of : Suraj Debnath ... ...Petitioner Mr. Akashdeep Mukherjee, Ms. Rini Bhadra, Mr. Soummyadeep Nag, Ms. Soumali Das, Advocates ... ... For the Petitioner Mr. Sudip Kumar, Advocate ... ...For the State Petition is taken up for consideration subsequent to order dated October 16, 2023.

By such order, interim anticipatory bail was granted by the co-ordinate Bench.

It is submitted at the Bar that the co-ordinate Bench did not consider the materials in the case diary and passed such order in view of the ensuing Puja vacation.

We perused the materials in the case diary. The materials in the case diary suggest that there are close circuit television footage implicating the petitioner in setting the property on fire.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner in the incident, we are unable to confirm the interim anticipatory bail granted on October 16, 2023 or grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.

CRM (A) 4619 of 2023 is dismissed.
