Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conferencing. Accordingly, the application being 1 of 2020 is disposed of.

Having considered materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner as the principal accused who hit the victim with a 'sabol' resulting in his death, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Aniruddha Roy, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
