Heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties.

Considering the fact that the petitioner and the de facto/complainant are presently residing together, the nature of accusations and the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, I am of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary.

Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner, namely, Rafik Alia @ Pintu shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 with a further condition that he shall meet with the investigating officer of the case once a week till investigation is completed.
