1. Petitioner is a student of Jadavpur University.
2. Apparently, it appears that, the police complaint emanates out of rivalry between the students.
3. Material collected at the present stage of investigation does not suggest requirement of putting the petitioner in custody.
4. In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with
2 two sureties of like 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 fortnight till the conclusion of investigation and on condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.
6. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed.
