of dated 13.08.2025 under Sections 329(4)/115(2)/70(1)/75(2)/76/79/351(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023. And In the matter of : Raju Karmakar.

......Petitioner.

Mr. Sayan De Mr. Sayan Kanjilal Mr. Kaustuv Shome ......for the Petitioner.

Mr. Bidyut Kumar Roy Mr. Atanu Ghosh ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 13th August, 2025, charge-sheet has already been submitted and the de-facto complainant has also initiated civil case being Title Suit no. 89/2024 along with earlier criminal cases being Hanskhali police station case no. 259/2024 which was under Section 354B of the Indian Penal Code along with other sections of house trespass and injuries as also Hanskhali police station case no. 450/2024 and the same was also under Section 354B of the Indian Penal Code and other sections of house trespass and injuries. The present case was initiated by suppressing such materials, although at the initial stage the same may not be very relevant but in course of investigation the same should have surfaced. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail, draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim lady under Section 183 of BNSS.

Having regard to the long standing disputes existing between the petitioner and others and the de-facto complainant of the present case/victim lady, I am of the opinion that further detention of the petitioner in connection with the present case may not be warranted. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, petitioner namely, Raju Karmakar shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs. 10,000 (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranaghat, Nadia. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed by the learned trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Nadia without the prior permission of the learned Court in seisin of the case. .

Accordingly, the application for bail being CRM (M) No. 389 of 2026 is allowed.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
