(G.R. Case No. 4076 of 2022) And In Re: Krisna Halder ... ... Petitioner Mr. Kallol Kr. Basu Md. Jannat-ul-Firdous Ms. Tithi Majumder ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Prasun Kr. Datta .. ld. Addl. Public Prosecutor Mr. Nirupam Dhali ... ... for the State Report is placed on record. From the report it appears that the Passport relied upon by the petitioner is genuine. In view of the aforesaid report and nature of accusation, we are of the opinion further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary.

Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Krisna Halder, 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Basirhat, North 24-Parganas 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.)
