In the matter of : Puskar Sardar.

.... Petitioner Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty, Mr. S. S. Saha.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Shiladitya Banerjee.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for 75 days. He submits there was a love affair between the parties. He prays for bail. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the victim girl supports the submission of the petitioner there was a love affair between two young persons.

Under such circumstances and in view of the period of detention suffered by him, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Alipore, South 24Paraganas subject to condition that he shall appear before the

trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Ajay Kumar Gupta,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
