Advocate ... ... for the State Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegations and as there is inordinate delay in lodging the FIR, we are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner is not necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely Panchu Rabidas, 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 be 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, disposed of. All concerned authorities shall act in terms of the copy downloaded from the official website of this court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
