In Re : Sanchari Bhattacharya Samanta
… Petitioner
Mr. Kunal Ganguly
Mr. Tirthankar Mukherjee
Ms. Madhurima Sarkar
Mr. Anirban Das
… … for the petitioner
1. Petitioner has assailed order granting anticipatory bail on the ground opposite party no.2 had undertaken to pay Rs.50,000/- per month as maintenance allowance.
2. It is trite law condition directing payment of maintenance allowance cannot be imposed on an accused while granting pre-arrest bail. Non-compliance of such direction, in our estimation, would not justify cancellation of anticipatory bail1.
3. CRM (DB) 531 of 2025 is accordingly, dismissed.
