And In the matter of: Sujit Gope & Anr.

....Petitioners.

Mr. Hillol Saha Podder ...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Aditi Shankar Chakraborty, Mr. Aniruddha Biswas ...for the State.

Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime and in the light of the submission that they are not the principal accused who is on regular bail, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) 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.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
