…for the State.
The petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within 48 hours of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference.
Mr. Sourav Ganguly, learned Counsel appearing along with Mr. Aditi Sankar Chakraborty, Ld.

We took serious exception to the conduct of S.I., Gopal Tamang, Kharibari P.S., Darjeeling for his adamant and indolent attitude for which we feel that he should be properly dealt with and warned.
In view of the aforesaid, we grant bail to the petitioner on personal bond to the satisfaction of the Assistant Sessions Judge,
