The offences complained of are being tried before the learned Judicial Magistrate, 2nd Court, Chandernagore, Hooghly. Out of 23 witnesses 4 witnesses have already been examined. Mr. Sagar Saha, learned advocate appearing for the State. His appointment may be regularized by the concerned authorities. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner. Although, the facts of the case relate to a job scam and there are specific accusations against the petitioner but without entering into the merits of the case, only the ground of period of detention of the present petitioner, I am inclined to release 2 the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, the petitioner, namely, Dipak Das @ Bapi shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandernagore, Hooghly. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of Hooghly without prior permission of the learned Trial Court.
