In Re : Susanta Mondal @ Gera ... Petitioner. Mr. Habibur Rahaman Mr. Archishman Singh
... for the Petitioner. Mr. Joydeep Biswas Mr. Bikram Mitra
... for the State. Mr. Anindya Bose Mr. Pintu Karar
…for the de facto complainant. Report submitted by the State is taken on record. Heard learned counsels for the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 600 days. He is not involved in the alleged offence. He has been exonerated by one of the co accused who committed suicide. Learned counsels for the State and the de facto complainant oppose the prayer. I have considered the material on record. Besides the fact that the offending Innova car was recovered at the instance of the petitioner, he does not appear to be similarly circumstanced with the co accused whose bail prayer was turned down by this Court earlier. 2 One of the co accused who committed suicide during pendency of investigation has implicated the other co accused but has stated that the petitioner was not aware of the alleged crime. Considering the material on record and extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, this Court is of the view that further detention of the petitioner is not required and he may be released on bail subject to stringent conditions. Accordingly, prayer for bail is allowed. The petitioner namely Susanta Mondal @ Gera be released on bail upon furnishing 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Alipore subject to condition that he shall remain within the jurisdiction of learned trial Court and shall furnish the address where he shall henceforth reside before the learned trial Court, investigating officer and the Officer in charge of the concerned P.S under whose jurisdiction he shall presently reside. He shall provide his mobile number to the said authorities and shall not change the same without prior intimation to them.
The petitioner shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions as stated above without justifiable cause, the
3 learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is thus disposed of. Case Diary be returned. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
