Mr. Asraf Mandal.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Abhra Mukherjee, Ms. Jonaki Saha.

...for the State.

1.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is in custody for more than seven years. He submits there is inordinate delay in trial. Co-accused have been granted bail. 3.

Hence, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioner also.

4.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Sashikant @ Sashikanta Roy shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Asansol subject to condition that he 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 and on further condition that the petitioner while on bail shall remain within the District of Paschim Bardhaman and shall

report to Officer-in-charge, Jamuria Police Station once in a week until further orders.

5.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

6. This application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
