Case No.137 of 2018 dated 02.05.2018 under Sections 420/406/467/ 120B of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Morsalim Mollah & Anr.

....Petitioners.

Mr. Asis Bhattacharyya ...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Sudip Ghosh, Mr. Bitasok Banerjee ...for the State.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail.

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

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegations in the alleged crime and as co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory 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.)
