This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioner no. 2 has already been arrested.
2. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.2, namely, Bidyut Mondal is dismissed as not pressed.
3. So far as the petitioner no. 1, namely, Ashish Mondal @ Ashis Mondal is concerned petitioner claims innocence and submits that he has been foisted with a criminal case.
4. Learned Advocate for the de facto complainant submits that petitioner no.1 is responsible for abetment.
5. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and have produced the Case Diary as well as the suicide note.
6. I have taken into account the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted. Charges are for abetment. I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the petitioner no.1 may not be warranted. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.1, namely, Ashish Mondal@ Ashis Mondal is allowed.
7. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely, 1. Ashish Mondal @ Ashis Mondal be released on bail by the Investigating Officer/arresting officer of the case on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper. This would be subject to the conditions under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
8. As charge-sheet has been submitted this order of anticipatory bail will remain valid for a period of six weeks.
9. Accordingly, CRM (A) 3108 of 2026 is allowed.
10. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record.
11. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the Official website of this Court.
12. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
