And In the matter of: Pinku Mandal & Ors.

....petitioners.

Md. Wasim Akram ... for the petitioners.

Mr. Tanmoy Kumar Ghosh, Ld. Sr. Government Advocate Ms. Sonali Bhar ...for the State.

Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

In an incident of assault, four persons suffered injuries. None of the injuries were classified as grievous hurt. Apparently, there are property disputes between the private parties.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioners will report before the Investigating Officer once a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure

the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 4896 of 2023 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
