And In the matter of: Krishna Saha ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Abhijit Sarkar Mr. Raja Biswas Ms. Trisha Saha ...for the petitioner Mr. Debasish Roy, Ld. PP Ms. Nandini Chatterjee ..for the State Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

Considering the nature of allegations levelled that also has a civil flavor, the materials available in the case diary, the fact that the supply of goods in question took place two years ago and the fact that a part payment was purportedly made, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

In the event of arrest, 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 Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding

to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
