01.05.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (DB) 632 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with STF Kolkata Police Station Case No.22 of dated 24.06.2019 under Sections 120B/121A/122/123/124A/125/467/468 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 14(A)(b) of the Foreigners Act charge sheet submitted under Sections 120B /121A/122/123/124A/125/467/468 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 16/17/18/18B/20 of the U.A. (P) Act and Section 14(A)(b) adding Section 14C of the Foreigners Act. And In Re :

Robiul Islam ... Petitioner.

Mr. Ramashis Mukherjee Mr. Subhrajyoti Bhattacharjee Ms. Debanjana Sen ... for the petitioner.

Ms. Subhasree Patel Ms. S. Chattopadhyay ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Bail prayer of the petitioner was turned down considering the material on record earlier. The petitioner renews his prayer for bail solely on the ground of his detention. He is in custody for more than 5 years and prays for bail.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that trial had proceeded initially after which the prosecution prayed for recasting the charges against the petitioner. The prayer has been allowed and 13th May, 2025 has been fixed for recasting of the charges. The delay in trial can be attributed to the petitioner to a great extent. On merits, this is not a fit case where bail can be granted in view of the fact that several incriminating material

have transpired against the petitioner during investigation. Trial is in progress.

In view of the above, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

However, in view of the period of incarceration 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 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.
