And In Re : Bapan Adhikari @ Bapan Kumar Adhikari ..... petitioner Ms. Sananda Bhattacharyya ... for the petitioner Mr. Rana Mukherjee, learned A.P.P Ms. Sujata Das ... for the State We have considered the materials on record. We note from the statements of the witnesses that the petitioner was member of an unlawful assembly and had chased the victim who was subsequently killed.

In view of the gravity of the offence and the prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, we are of the opinion that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
