-AndIn the matter of: Sagar Saha

...Petitioner

Mr. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Dhiman Banerjee ...for the Petitioner Mr. Shataroop Purkayastha ...for the State

1. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner surrendered on 10.09.2025 and since then, he has been in custody. Charges have already been framed and the prosecution has relied upon nineteen (19) witnesses in order to prove its case. As such, there is no possibility for the learned Trial Court to conclude the trial in the near future. So the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent condition.

2. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of one eye witness, namely, Mir Furkan Ali as well as the post-mortem report.

3. Having considered the same, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case to release the petitioner on bail at this stage.

4. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected.

5. Accordingly, C.R.M.(M) 740 of 2026 is dismissed.

6. In case any application on health is made before the jurisdictional Trial Court, the learned Trial Court would expeditiously dispose of the same by calling for a report from the Jail authority.

7. All parties shall act on the basis of the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

8. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
