In the matter of: Roni Chakraborty @ Rani Chakraborty

...Petitioner.

Mr. Tapodia Gupta ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Nilay Chakraborty Mr. Tapan Bhattacharyya ...for the State.

1. Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record.

2. The Investigating Officer is present in Court.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the other than the statements of co-accused, there are no incriminating materials available against the present petitioner.

4. Learned counsel appearing for the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, upon instruction from the Investigating Officer and relying upon the report filed by the State, he submits that there are no criminal antecedents or money trail or phone call conversations between the petitioner and the

principal accused to implicate the petitioner. Charge sheet has been submitted.

5. In view of the above, the petitioner has been able to rebut the restriction contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act and considering the other materials available in the case diary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from date and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court.

7. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

8. The presence of the Investigating Officer is noted and is dispensed with.

9. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
