And In Re: Tarapada Barman @ Tara Pada Roy ... ... Petitioner Ms. Rima Sarkar Ms. Sidhi Sethia ... for the petitioner Mr. Abhijit Sarkar Mr. Dhiman Shil ... ... for the State

1. The petitioner prays for grant of anticipatory bail.

2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

3. Considering the materials in the case diary and upon perusal of the injury report and the mode and manner in which the injury was caused, we are of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and the benefit under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended to the petitioner to grant anticipatory bail.

4. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of equal 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 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS and on further condition that the petitioner shall meet the investigating officer once in a week until further orders.

5. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Partha Sarathi Chatterjee, J.) (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
