Siliguri, July 19: Bimal Gurung and two other leaders of the Morcha were granted bail by a court in Jalpaiguri today.
The chief
executive of the GTA Sabha appeared at the chief judicial magistrate’s
court in Jalpaiguri today along with party colleagues Ramesh Alley and
Saraswati Pradhan. Gurung, who was earlier given interim bail, got his
bail confirmed by the court today.
“Earlier, the
district and sessions court of Jalpaiguri had granted anticipatory bails
for Bimal Gurung and two others. They were instructed by the court to
appear at the CJM court within seven days,” Santa Chatterjee, the
assistant public prosecutor, said.
The three Morcha leaders got bail against personal bonds of Rs 1,000 and Rs 4,000, a court source said.
According to a
court source, the Morcha president and his colleagues were named in two
cases. The first case was registered at Malbazar police station in
Jalpaiguri district in 2009 after Morcha workers clashed with a section
of local residents and police after they tried to march into the Dooars
where prohibitory orders under section 144 of CrPC were imposed.
The second case was registered in 2011, after police and Morcha workers clashed at Sibchu.
Gurung spoke in a relieved tone before leaving the court premises.
“We are happy with the court’s order of granting us bail,” he said.
