C.R.M. 5282 of 2020 (Via Video Conference) In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Mal P.S. Case No. 248 of 2020 dated 06.07.2020 under Sections 323/326/354/420 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In re : Srimanta Gupta @ Sumantra Gupta ... Petitioner. Ms. Madhushri Dutta Majumdar ...for the Petitioner Mr. A. S. Chakraborty, Ld. A.P.P.

...for the State.

Leave is granted to correct the cause title.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there was a dispute between him and the de facto complainant over non payment of salary.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials on record and keeping in mind the facts and circumstances of the case in the light of the submission made on behalf of the petitioner and keeping in mind the nature of injuries, we are inclined in granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction

of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. All concerned 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.)
