02.04.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Allowed C.R.M. (DB) 498 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Jorasanko P.S. Case No. 118 of 2022 dated 06.05.2022 under Sections 302/34 of IPC. And In Re :
Raji Ahmed @ Raji Ahamad ... Petitioner.
Mr. Aniruddha Bhattacharyya Ms. Anushka Bose Mr. Uttam Mukherjee ... for the Petitioner.
Mr. Ranabir Roy Chowdhury Mr. Nirupam Dhali ... For the State.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was granted interim bail on 1st August, 2022 which was confirmed on 22nd February, 2024. He was arrested in connection with Bargaon P.S. Case No.36 of 2024 on 19th July, 2024 and was in custody since then. In the meantime, the learned trial Court cancelled the bail of the petitioner and issued warrant of arrest against him. On further information that the petitioner was lodged at Beniapur Sub-jail, Darbhanga, Bihar production warrant was issued against him on 19th September, 2024 upon recalling the warrant of arrest.
The petitioner was enlarged on bail in connection with Bargaon P.S. Case on 16th December, 2024 which was communicated to the learned trial Court with a prayer for recalling the production warrant issued earlier.
The petitioner was produced before the learned trial Court on 23rd December, 2024 and filed an application for bail by virtue of liberty granted by this Court vide order dated 21st January, 2025 in CRR 214 of 2025. The bail was rejected and the petitioner was taken into custody by the learned trial Court.
The petitioner undertakes to appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing and not delay the trial in any manner whatsoever.
Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. It is a fact that the petitioner was granted interim bail earlier which was confirmed subsequently. The petitioner misused the liberty of bail and was arrested in connection with the subsequent offence allegedly committed by him in Bihar.
However, since the petitioner undertakes to appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing and participate in the proceeding, this Court is of the view that further detention of the petitioner is not required and he may be granted bail.
The prayer for bail is allowed.
The petitioner, Raji Ahmed @ Raji Ahamad be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Calcutta subject to condition that the petitioner shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court and
shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
If the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court on any date fixed before it without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail, being CRM (DB) 498 of 2025, is, thus, disposed of.
Case Diary be returned.
All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
