From the report dated August 13, 2026, filed by the investigating officer, it appears that in compliance of the order dated August 11, 2026, the petitioners reported to the I.O. and co-operated with him. 3. In that view of the matter, I am of the opinion that immediate custodial interrogation of the petitioners may not be necessary so long as they continue to co-operate with the investigating officer. 4. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners, namely Bikram Basak and Sanjoy Karmakar @ Sanjoy Kumar 2 Karmakar shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and shall abide by the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 until further orders and on further condition that they shall meet the Investigating Officer of this case as and when called for. 5. In case the petitioners fail to adhere to any of the conditions mentioned in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the learned Court below shall be entitled to cancel the anticipatory bail without further reference to this Court. 6. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 587 of 2026, stands disposed of. 7. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
