Debasish Roy And ORS v. The State Of West Bengal

Calcutta High Court In The Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Appellate Jurisdiction 23.09.2024 Ct. No. 01 S.D.

Allowed C.R.M.(A) 693 of 2024 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Jalpaiguri Police Station Case No. 619 of 2024 dated 26.06.2024 under Sections 447/467/384/307/506/120B of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Debasish Roy & Ors.

...... petitioners Mr. Ranadeep Sengupta Mr. Sudip Guha Mr. Sandip Guha Roy Mr. Ananda Paul ....for the petitioners Mr. Kallol Acharjee Mr. Chattu Roy ....for the State Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that co-accused was granted bail by the Coordinate Bench on August 13, 2024 passed in C.R.M. (DB) 427 of 2024. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. Allegations relate to a registered document of title and involve an immovable property.

Materials in the case diary do not suggest the requirement of placing the petitioners in custody for interrogation.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 further condition that the petitioners shall meet before the Investigating Officer once a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the Jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
