DATE: 06.03.2020
In the matter of : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 04.03.2020 in connection with Chandannagar P.S. Case No. 203 of 2019 dated 02.12.2019 under sections 420/406/506/384/504/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Mr. Sandip Kr. Bhattacharyya Mr. Abdul Murshid … … for the petitioner
Ms. Zareen N. Khan … … for the State
Petitioner is in custody over a month and it is submitted that she has been falsely implicated due to altercation with local police administration.
Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail and denies and disputes such allegation.
Having considered the materials on record and keeping in mind the nature of allegations and in view of the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
Accordingly, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandannagar, Hooghly subject to the condition that the 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 the petitioner fails to do so without justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel her bail in accordance with law without further reference to this court.
The application for bail is, thus, allowed.
