... ... Petitioners Mr. Arkaprabho Roy.

...... for the petitioners Mr. Sanjoy Bardhan, Mr. Bikram Mitra.

...... for the State 1.

Heard learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record. A skirmish broke out due to a road traffic accident. Petitioner no. 1 caused grievous injury.

3.

Hence, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner no. 1.

4.

Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of petitioner no. 2 in the crime, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him. 5.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner no. 2 viz., Rajaram Mahato be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, 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 Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. He shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.
