Petitioner Mr. Arnab Saha ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Saikat Chatterjee Mr. Chattu Roy ... ... for the State Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Injury is simple. Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner may not be necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely Dilip Shil, 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 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Subhendu Samanta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
