17.12.2020 Court No.28 SL No.163 AP CRM 10452 of 2020 (Through Video Conference) In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Karimpur P.S. Case No.270 of 2020 dated 21.11.2020 under Sections 498A/326/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Sumit Das & Ors.

....Petitioners.

Mr. Asraf Mandal ...for the Petitioners.

Mr. P.K. Datta, Ld. A.P.P., Mr. Santanu Deb Roy ...for the State.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that there is inordinate delay in lodging first information report. 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 allegation of assault is not supported by medical papers, 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.)
