C.R.M. (DB) 363 of 2022 08.03.2022 Sl. 51 Court No.29 sourav (Rejected) In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 02.02.2022 in connection with Sandeshkhali P.S. Case No. 192 of 2020 dated 07.11.2020 under Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of: Sabitri Das ....petitioner.

Mr. Jayanta Narayan Chatterjee Mrs. Moumita Pandit Ms. Nandini Chatterjee Mr. Nazir Ahmed Mr. S. Koley Ms. Pritha Sinha ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Madhusudan Sur Mr. Manoranjan Mahata ...for the State.

Petitioner renews the prayer for bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 486 days. He contends that other co-accused is on bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the State submits that the trial is in progress. Evidences are being recorded. The next date for such purpose is from April 5, 2022.

The petitioner approached this Hon'ble Court for trial by way of CRM 4688 of 2021 which was rejected on September 30, 2021. There, the involvement of the petitioner was discussed. There is hardly any change in material circumstances subsequent to the earlier order of rejection dated September 30, 2021. The trial is in progress. At this crucial stage, therefore, it would be inadvisable to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

C.R.M. (DB) 363 of 2022 is dismissed.
