01.05.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (DB) 849 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Mathurapur Police Station Case No.34 of 2022 dated 09.02.2022 under Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code charge sheet submitted under Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re :

Ajahar @ Ajaharuddin Laskar @ Raja ... Petitioner. Mr. Ayan Basu Mr. Sandip Kr. Mondal Mr. Sumit Routh ... for the petitioner.

Ms. Sreyashee Biswas Ms. Snigdha Saha ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for more than 3 years and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that trial cannot be concluded in near future. The petitioner was not 'last seen together' with the deceased and the CDR also does not record his presence and at the place of occurrence at the relevant time.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that the prosecution proposes to examine 4 more witnesses and shall conclude witness action within 3-4 months from the next date fixed for evidence. The witnesses of the case have been threatened by the mother of the petitioner and a General Diary has been lodged in this regard.

On merits, bail prayer of the petitioner was turned down by this Court earlier. It appears from the statement of the wife of the deceased that the petitioner was present with the deceased along with the principal accused soon before the alleged incident. Blood stained offending weapon has been recovered from the house of the petitioner pursuant to his leading statement. The weapon has been sent for forensic examination and the report is awaited. Considering the material on record connecting the petitioner to the alleged crime, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The 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.
