Versus

State of West Bengal Mr. Imran Siddiqui, Adv.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Neguive Ahmed, Adv.

Ms. Manisha Sharma, Adv.

...for the State.

The petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per the Rules within one month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. The petition is taken up through video conference on the basis of such undertaking.

CRAN 1 of 2020 is accordingly, disposed of.

Having considered the materials on record and the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure directly implicating the petitioner, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Saugata Bhattacharyya, J.) (Soumen Sen, J.)
