Ms. Faria Hossain, Ms. Sonali Das ... for the State Having heard the learned advocate for the for the petitioner and the learned P.P.-in-Charge and on perusal of the materials on record as well as the case diary, it is ascertained that petitioner took huge amount of pesticides and manure etc. from one Santosh Mondal amounting to Rs. 1,74,990/- but did not pay the said amount to Santosh.

The petitioner is in custody for about 55 days. It is found from the case diary that most of the witnesses have already been examined and their statements were recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

If the petitioner violates any of the conditions mentioned hereinabove , the order of bail shall be cancelled without further reference to this Bench. Case Diary be returned.
