A Division Bench of this Court in C. R. M. No. 3000 of 2005 on April 13, 2005 allowed the prayer of the petitioners in terms of Section 438 of the said Code who apprehended arrest in connection with Nandigram Police Station Case No. 33/05 under Sections 341, 448, 323, 325, 354, 308, 506 and 34. It was directed that the said order un...
