It is also submitted that they have been falsely implicated. They pray for bail. Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record including injury report. Keeping in mind the facts and circumstances of the case, we are inclined to grant bail to them.

Accordingly, we direct that the petitioners Ratan Mondal and Rajat Mondal shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranaghat, Nadia, on condition that petitioners shall appear before the trial court on

every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate the witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioners fail to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is, accordingly, allowed. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
