Biplab Parida v. State Of West Bengal

13.05.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (DB) 1017 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Kanksa Police Station Case No.271 of dated 06.09.2021 under Sections 498A/302/304B of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 3 /4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

And In Re : Biplab Parida ... Petitioner.

Mr. Amajit De ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Madhusudan Sur Mr. S. Banerjee ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for 3 years 8 months and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the investigating officer is being examined from 2023 and his examination is still not concluded.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. It appears that both the prosecution as well as petitioner have contributed to the delay in examination of PW 27 who, according to the State, is the last witness to be examined by the prosecution.

On merits, the petitioner does not deserve a favourable consideration.

Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. The learned trial Court is directed to take all possible steps for securing the attendance of PW 27 and expedite the

trial without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties, in accordance with law. The parties are directed to render all co operation to the learned trial Court so that trial can be concluded expeditiously.

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.
