It is submitted that he is in custody for about 219 days and that investigation is complete.

Learned Counsel for the State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer for bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegations and in view of the period of detention

suffered by the petitioner and as investigation is complete, we are of the opinion that further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary. Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Lalit Roy, be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jalpaiguri subject to condition that the said petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Manojit Mandal, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
