Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for 14 months and charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional Court. It was another accused who fired at the injured and petitioner was allegedly in the motorcycle. Learned advocate appearing for the State has produced the Case Diary. I have taken into account the statement of the eye-witness as well as the statement of the injured under Section 183 of BNSS. It has been informed that the person who fired has been granted bail/statutory bail.

As such, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Asit Chanda @ Ashit Chandra @ Tapa 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, Bongaon, North 24 Parganas.
