... Petitioners.

Mr. Siddhartha Sarkar ...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Sujan Chatterjee ...for the State.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegations in the light of the submission that the petitioners are representatives of a bank and had seized hypothecated assets in terms of the agreement, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioners shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within a period of six weeks from date.

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