It is further submitted co-accuseds have been enlarged on bail. Investigation is complete.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Co-accuseds have been enlarged on bail. Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact, period of detention suffered by the petitioner and as investigation is complete, we are of the opinion further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary.

Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Ranjit Bhunia @ Chhatu, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purba Medinipur at Tamluk subject to condition that the said petitioner 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 he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
