Report submitted by the learned counsel for the State is kept with the record. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 6 months and charge-sheet has been submitted. There is no reason for keeping the petitioner in custody and the petitioner may be released on bail. 3.

Accordingly, the application for bail of the petitioner, namely, Aditya alias Aditya Prasad Mal alias Aditya Mal is allowed. 7. I direct the petitioners will be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be a local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haldia. The petitioner shall appear before the learned Trial Court on each and every day of substantive hearing subject to the provisions of Section 317 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Section 355 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and shall not intimidate the witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
