Allowed C.R.M. (M) 67 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Kalyani Police Station Case No. 1050 of 2025 dated 19.10.2025 under Section 64(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 2746 of 2025).

And In Re :

Sushanta @ Susanta @ Sushantra Howlader ... Petitioner.

Mr. Shibaji Kumar Das, Mr. Dipendu Kumar Das, Ms. Deblina De ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Debabrata Chatterjee, Ms. Baishakhi Chatterjee ... For the State.

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today be kept with the record.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 125 days and chargesheet has already been submitted. As such, further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted.

Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS.

I have taken into account the materials appearing in the case diary and the fact that the investigation has been concluded. Having regard to the same, I am of the view that further detention of the present petitioner in connection with

the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Sushanta @ Susanta @ Sushantra Howlader shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kalyani. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date so fixed by the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Nadia without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Case diary be returned to learned advocate appearing for the State.

The application for bail, being CRM (M) 67 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
