Arnab Sil @ Rahul Mukherjee v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

23.04.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (DB) 972 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Bidhannagar South Police Station Case No. 98 of 2020 dated 11.08.2020 under Section 419/376/384/385 of the IPC.

And In Re :

Arnab Sil @ Rahul Mukherjee ... Petitioner.

Mr. Angshuman Charkaborty Mr. S. S. Saha ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Subhamoy Bhattacharya Mr. D. Dutta ... for the State.

Affidavit of service filed by the petitioner is taken on record.

None appears for the victim despite service.

The petitioner is in custody for more than 4 years 8 months and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that out of 19 witnesses only 2 witnesses have been examined and the petitioner is languishing in custody due to no fault on his part.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. It appears that bail prayer of the petitioner was turned down earlier considering the material on record. Learned counsel for the State submits that the prosecution proposes to examine 13 witnesses in all. Considering the material available on record, the 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.
