Apprehending arrest in connection with Saltora Police Station Case No.84 of 2026 dated 05-06-2026, the petitioner has come up before this Court praying for anticipatory bail. 2. Learned advocate representing the petitioner prays for anticipatory bail on the ground of parity. In order to substantiate his contention, he has placed the orders passed by the learned coordinate Bench in respect of other co- accused. The accusation was made long after ten years. 3. On behalf of the prosecution, objection has been raised to the prayer for anticipatory bail. But the learned 2 advocate for the State candidly submits that other co- accused who are enlarged on anticipatory bail are similarly circumstanced with the present petitioner. Memo of evidence furnished by the State be taken on record. It appears from the memo of evidence that charge sheet has not yet been submitted. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the present petitioner is similarly circumstanced with the other co-accused who are also favoured with the benefit of anticipatory bail, this Court is also of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the present petitioner in connection with this case is unwarranted. 5. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, Kalipada Roy, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer. The petitioner shall abide by the conditions laid down in Section 482(2) of the BNSS. Further, the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer once in a week and/or as and when called for, until further orders, and shall also cooperate with the investing agency. 6. In the event the petitioner failed to adhere to any of the conditions stipulated above, the learned court will be at liberty to cancel the anticipatory bail without further reference of this Court. 7. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. 8. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 3 9.
