D/L.20.

Rakib (Allowed) CRM (M) 638 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Swarupnagar Police Station case no. 672 of 2025 dated 11.10.2025 under Sections 14A(b) of the Foreigners Act and Section 12 of the Passport Act.

And In the matter of : Moriyam Khatun @ Moriom Khatun @ Monira Khatun.

......Petitioner.

Mr. Satadru Lahiri Mr. Syed Wasim Faruque .....for the Petitioner.

Mr. Shataroop Purkayastha ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner was arrested on 11.10.2025 since then he is in custody, charge-sheet has already been submitted.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner is a Bangaladeshi national and if she is released on bail there is every possibility of flouting the process of trial as also the petitioner can stretch her time for staying in India with a ploy of the pendency of the present criminal case. I have taken into account the period of detention of the petitioner and the prosecution intending to examine 10 witnesses in support of its case.

Having regard to the period of sentence which may be imposed if the petitioner is convicted which is for term

imprisonment, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, the petitioner, namely, Moriyam Khatun @ Moriom Khatun @ Monira Khatun 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, Basirhat, North 24 Parganas. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and furnished the address to the learned ACJM, Basirhat before being released on bail. The jurisdictional police authorities would once in every fortnight make surprise visit for cross-checking regarding the availability of the petitioner at the address so furnished. If there are violations of the aforesaid directions, learned jurisdictional Court would be at liberty to cancel the bail without further reference to this Court.

Accordingly, CRM (M) No. 638 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.
