… … Petitioner

Mr. Prasanta Kumar Banerjee .. Advocate

Mr. Bidyut Kumar Roy .. Advocate

The petitioner is seeking bail in connection with a case relating to offences

punishable under Sections 323/325/498A/331/376/ 511/504/506/120B/354B/34 of the

Indian Penal Code.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for about 120

days.

Learned Counsel for the State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer

for bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of

allegations and in view of the period of detention suffered by the petitioner and as

investigation is complete, we are of the opinion that further detention of the

accused/petitioner is not necessary.

Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Arijit Das, be released on bail upon

furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), with two sureties of like

amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional

Chief Judicial Magistrate, Serampore, Hooghly subject to condition that the said petitioner

shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall

not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the

trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court.

The application for bail, thus, stands allowed.
