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 the petitioners are innocent and have been implicated in the case pursuant to change of administration.
2. Learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary and drawn the attention of this Court to the statement of one of the victims which reflects complicity of the petitioner No. 1.
3. So far as petitioner No. 2 is concerned, on perusal of the whole of the case diary, I do not find any complicity to the extent for custodial detention.

4. Having considered the overall circumstances, so as to petitioner No. 1, namely, Sri Sanjoy Bachhar, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
5. So far as petitioner No. 2, namely, Miss. Dalia Bachhar is concerned, her prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed.
6. As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner No. 2, namely, Miss Dalia Bachhar, be released on bail by the Investigating Officer/Arresting Officer of the case on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper.

The petitioner No. 2 shall also make herself available as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
