And

In Re: Akash Bhunia @ Akas Sen
… … Petitioner

Mr. Santanu Maji .. Advocate
… … for the petitioner

Mr. Pradipta Ganguly .. Advocate
… … for the State

Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules

within 48 hours of resumption of normal functioning of the court. Subject to such

undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conferencing.

Heard the learned advocates appearing for both the parties.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody since 19.10.2019.

It is further submitted that investigation is complete.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and prays

for time to produce the case diary.

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

detention suffered by the petitioner, we consider it prudent to release the petitioner on

interim bail in the present case however, subject to the following conditions.

Accordingly, the accused/petitioner namely, Akash Bhunia @ Akas Sen shall

be released on interim bail on executing a personal bond to the satisfaction of the
2

learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Burdwan-in-charge subject to condition that the said

petitioner shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner

whatsoever and on further condition that he shall stay at his permanent residence and

shall not move out of his residence without the express permission of the Officer-in-

charge of the police station within whose jurisdiction he shall reside. Petitioner shall be

subjected to medical examination by the medical authorities attached to the correctional

home where he is presently lodged and shall be so released only upon issuance of a fit

certificate by the said authorities. The interim bail shall continue for a period of three

months or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Let this matter appear for further hearing two months hence. Case diary be

produced on that day.

Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Burdwan-in-charge as well as all concerned

authorities shall act in terms of the copy downloaded from the official website of this court.
