(G.R. Case No.2886 of 2023) And In Re: Joydeep Sinha ... ... Petitioner Mr. Amitabha Ghosh ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Imran Ali Md. Kutubuddin ... ... for the State

1. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for about 70 days. It is further submitted there is a matrimonial dispute between the parties. Accordingly, he prays for bail.

2. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

3. We have considered the materials on record. There is a matrimonial dispute between the parties. Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact and the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, we are of the opinion further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary.

4. Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Joydeep Sinha, 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, Hooghly at Chinsurah 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.

5. 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.

6. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
