...... petitioners Mr. M Chatterjee ...... for the petitioners Mr. P K Datta Mr. S Deb Roy ...... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that no narcotic substance was recovered from their possession. Co-accused has been granted pre-arrest bail.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime and as co-accuseds similarly circumstanced with the petitioners have been granted pre-arrest bail, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioners also.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall 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 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that they shall

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

The application being CRM 8377 of 2020 is disposed of. (Abhijit Gangopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
