Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Allegations of torture are general and omnibus. Custodial interrogation of the petitioners for progress of investigation is not necessary. 3.

Hence, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioners subject to conditions.

4.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS and on further condition petitioner No.1 while on bail shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a week until further orders.

shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

5.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : ALOK SETH High Court of Calcutta 20 th of December 2024 05:28:41 PM
