C.R.M. (DB) 999 of 2025 In Re : An Application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure/under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Sagardighi Police Station Case No. 613/2024 dated 17.12.2024 under Sections 64(1)/351(3) of the BNS.

And In Re : Sanjoy Ghosh Mr. Jisan Iqubal Hossain ... For the Petitioner.

Ms. Manisha Sharma Mrs. Pallavi Priyadarshee ... For the State The petitioner is in custody for more than 100 days and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the FIR has been lodged after an inordinate delay. The victim is a married lady and was in consensual relationship with the petitioner.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State refers to the statement of the victim under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

I have considered the material on record. The statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure implicates the petitioner. The petitioner claims to be a police personnel.

The case is yet to be committed. At this stage in the event the petitioner is released on bail, likelihood of his tampering

with evidence, intimidating witnesses and winning over witnesses cannot be ruled out.

In view of the above, the prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.

(Suvra Ghosh, J.)
