Pradhan, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. 5. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioners vis-a-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the pre-trial detention of the petitioners in custody since 14.04.2025 with submission of charge-sheet in the meantime and taking into account the mode and manner of implication of the present petitioners in this case, this Court without expressing any view on merits admits each of the Petitioners to bail. 6. Hence, these two bail applications of the petitioners namely Jatin Ray, Prince Rao and Bikash Dungri stands allowed and each of the petitioners are allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it with following conditions:- (i) the petitioners shall not commit any offence while on bail, (ii) the petitioners in the course of trial shall attend the trial Court on each date of posting without fail unless their attendance are dispensed with. In case the Petitioners fail without sufficient cause to appear in the Court in accordance with the terms of the bail, the learned trial Court may proceed against the Petitioners for offence U/S.269 of BNS,2023 in accordance with law, (iii) the petitioners shall not leave the territorial jurisdiction of the trial Court without prior permission till disposal of the case by intimating their present address of stay to the concerned Court and (iv) the petitioner shall report attendance before the Jurisdictional Police Station once in a fortnight preferably on a Sunday in each month in between 10 A.M. to 12 Noon for three (03) months from the actual date of release from the custody. The I.I.C. of Jurisdictional Police Station shall not detain the petitioners unnecessarily after recording their attendance beyond the time as stipulated. It is clarified that the Court in seisin of the case will be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioners without further reference to this Court, if any of the above conditions are violated or a case for cancellation of bail is otherwise made out. In the wake of aforesaid, the subsequent involvement of the petitioners in future for similar/grave offences on prima facie accusations may be treated as a ground for cancellation of bail in this case.
