17.12.2020 b.das CRM 9122 of 2020 (Via Video Conference) In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Tamluk P.S. Case No.348 of 2020 dated 12.07.2020 under Sections 420/406/379/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Gokul Manna ....Petitioner.

Mr. Kazi M. Rahaman ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Swapan Banerjee Mr. Suman De ...for the State.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he deposited money in lieu of the missing property.

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

Having considered the materials on record and keeping in mind the nature of allegations in the light of the submission relating to deposit of money in lieu of the misappropriated bangle, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation may not be necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

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