And In the matter of: Sk. Jalal & another. …. Petitioners. Mr. Pintu Kanrar Mr. Sujit Samanta Ms. Meghna Chowdhury …for the petitioners Ms. Zareen N. Khan Mr. Md. Ejaz Akhter …for the State Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das ..for the victim Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the parents of the principal accused. The principal accused is in custody. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She refers to the statements of the victim recorded before the learned Magistrate, the other statements and the medico-legal examination. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners and the fact that the principal accused being the son of the present petitioners is in custody, I do not think that custodial interrogation of the 2 petitioners is required in this case and I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. In the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation and shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner no.1 shall meet the I.O. once a fortnight till submission of report in final form. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
