IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.131 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Allowed C.R.M. (M) 624 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Tarakeswar Police Station Case No. 434 of 2025 dated 12.11.2025 under Sections 329(3)/115(2)/ 117(2)/118(1)/109/74/352/351(3)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 2262 of 2025). And In Re :

Madan Das ... Petitioner.

Mr. Amitava Chowdhury, Mr. Debasis Sur, Ms. Rekha Das, Mr. Rabindra Nath Ghosh ... For the Petitioner.

Md. Anwar Hossain, Mr. Pratick Bose ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent of the charges; petitioner is in custody for four months and charge-sheet has already been submitted in connection with the instant case. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the injury report as well as the statement under Section 183 of the BNSS.

I have taken into account the same. So far as the injuries are concerned, which have been inflicted which are of vague nature, was at the instance of one Pratima Das. Petitioner was present at the spot and there were certain overt acts. However, having regard to the complicity of the present petitioner in the alleged offence, I am of the view that

further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted in the facts and circumstances of the case. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Madan Das shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandernagore.

If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date so fixed by the learned Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Hooghly without prior permission of the learned Court.

The petitioner shall also not enter into the jurisdiction of Tarakeswar Police Station and shall furnish his address where he would be residing prior to his release on bail. The petitioner shall once in a week meet with the Officer-in-Charge of the local police station or any officer deputed by him till further orders of this Court. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 624 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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.
