Mr. Banerjee, learned advocate appearing for the State has
produced the case diary.
Having heard learned advocates for the parties and on
perusal of the materials in the case diary, we are of the considered
view that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary
for effective and meaningful progress of investigation of the F.I.R.
and that they are entitled to direction, as prayed for.
Accordingly, C.R.M. 2405 of 2017 stands allowed with the
direction that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be
released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five
Thousand) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of
whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Court below.
