And In the matter of : Sadhucharan Mandal & Ors. ……Petitioners. Mr. Md. Wasim Akram Ms. Sabrina Parveen ……for the Petitioners. Mr. Shourjyo Mukherjee Mr. Rohan Bavishi ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that over land dispute a scuffle took place and petitioners have been foisted with the criminal case.

Having considered the materials appearing in the case diary and taking into account the age of petitioner no. 1, his prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. 2 So far as petitioner nos. 2, 3 and 4 are concerned, their prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
