In re: CRAN 1 of 2024

1. This is an application for relaxation of conditions for grant of anticipatory bail, imposed by an order dated September 12, 2024. The prayer is that the condition that the petitioners shall not enter the jurisdiction of Darjeeling district during the period of investigation and trial, except for attending court or for the purpose of investigation, be relaxed, on various cogent grounds. Some of the petitioners work within the jurisdiction of Darjeeling district and the father of the petitioner No.1 is seriously ill.

2. Considering the submissions, this court is of the view that the condition imposed can be relaxed only to the extent that the petitioners may enter the jurisdiction of Darjeeling district provided they report to the Officer-in-Charge, Bagdogra police station once a week till conclusion of the

investigation. All other conditions as per the direction of the order dated September 12, 2024 shall remain unaltered.

3. The application being CRAN 1 of 2024 is, thus, disposed of. (Partha Sarathi Chatterjee, J.) (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
