And In Re :

Sanjit Roy @ Sanjib Roy Mr. Sourav Ganguly Mr. Sourav Kar Ms. Rishita Chakraborty Mr. Gopal Roy ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Nilay Chakraborty Mr. Biswarup Roy ... for the State.

Learned counsel for the State submits that no document has been collected during enquiry with regard to the title of the house from which the recovery was made.

In view of the above and considering the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner namely Sanjit Roy @ Sanjib Roy be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
