C.R.M. (DB) 551 of 2025 In the matter of :

Ranjit Bhor ... Petitioner.

In Re: An application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure/ Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed on 6th February, 2025 in connection with Chatterjeehat Police Station Case no. 105 of 2019 dated 21.06.2019 under Sections 363/365/302/120B of the Indian Penal Code. Sk. Toslim Ali ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Abhishek Sinha Ms. Rituparna Saha ... For the State Report submitted by the State is taken on record. On merits, the crime is extremely heinous and material available on record sufficiently links the petitioner to the alleged offence. The petitioner who appears to be the paramour of the victim's mother was found to have been taking the victim to the railway tracks where his dead body was found.

With regard to the progress of trial, 7 out of 37 witnesses have been examined. The delay in progress of trial can be attributed to the petitioner as well as the prosecution. It also appears that on few dates the Court was vacant and the matter also could not be taken up for hearing due to Covid 19 pandemic.

Considering the involvement of the petitioner in the alleged crime, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

In view of the period of detention of the petitioner, learned trial Court is directed to take the proceeding to its logical conclusion as expeditiously as possible without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties, in accordance with law.

The application for bail is 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.
