(G.R. Case No.1781 of 2021) And In Re: Susovan Karmakar @ Papai ... ... Petitioner Mr. Bitasok Banerjee ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Pradipta Ganguly ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for about 332 days. Co-accuseds have been enlarged on bail. 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. Under such circumstances and in view of the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, we are of the opinion further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary. Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Susovan Karmakar @ Papai, 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, Chandannagore, Hooghly 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.)
