Tapas Nath v. State Of West Bengal

June 17, 2025 15 ARDR (Rejected) CRM (DB) 1018 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Salanpur Police Station Case No. 30 of 2022 dated 30/1/2022 under Sections 302/201/506/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re :

Tapas Nath ... Petitioner.

Adv. Kunal Ganguly, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Rabanir Chowdhury, Adv. Madhumita Basak, ...for the State.

The petitioner is in custody for more than three years and prays for bail.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that three out of 33 witnesses have been examined so far. I have considered the material on record.

Bail prayer of the petitioner was turned down on earlier occasions considering the material on record. The petitioner appears to have called the victim to the place of occurrence after which the victim was murdered. Incriminating articles have also been recovered from the petitioner.

Considering the material on record and prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the alleged offence, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

However, in view of the period of incarceration of the petitioner, the learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

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.
