Having regard to the period of detention of the present petitioner and prima facie the materials reflecting that the incident cropped up at the spur of the moment, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. 5. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. 6. As such, the petitioner, namely, Ramesh Thapa shall furnish 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, Sealdah. 7.
