Rohit Mardi @ Rashid Mardi

Versus

The State of West Bengal Mr. Tapan Dutta Gupta Mr. Parvej Anam Ms. Rituparna Ghosh Mr. Sourav Sardar Ms. Afsana Khatun.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Prasun Kr. Dutta Ms. Puja Goswami.

...for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits Bpg.

Disposed of that the petitioner is in custody for 182 days and has surrendered before the jurisdictional court.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner had been evading the process of law for a considerable period of time.

I find from the records of the case that the deceased committed suicide by consuming poison within nine months of marriage when she was carrying. Petitioner is in custody also for more than six months. The parents of the petitioner have also been made accused and are on bail. There must be some progress in the case. Accordingly, I direct that the learned court in seisin of the

case, be it the learned Magistrate or the learned sessions court, would proceed and progress towards the consideration of charges. If the case is before the learned Magistrate, all efforts be taken to complete the process of supply of copies to all the accused persons and the records be comitted to the court of sessions. If the case is already before the sessions court, in that case, a date be fixed at the earliest for consideration of charges. If the case is before the learned Magistrate, steps be taken so that within a period of three months at least after commitment the stage of consideration of charges are over. Learned trial court would after the stage of consideration of charges are over release the petitioner on bail on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper to ensure further appearance of the petitioner.

With the aforesaid observations, CRM(M)276 of 2026 is disposed of.

All 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 of all requisite formalities.
