And In the matter of: Pankaj Mandal @ Pankaj Kumar Mandal ....petitioner.

Ms. Minoti Gomes ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherje, Ld. PP, Mr. Partha Pratim Das Mrs. Manasi Roy ...for the State.

Petitioner renews the prayer for bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 362 days. The police filed chargesheet and, therefore, further detention of the petitioner is not required.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case dairy. Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein as transpiring from the materials in the case diary and considering the fact that there is hardly any material change in circumstances subsequent to the earlier order of rejection, we are unable to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. C.R.M. (DB) 942 of 2022 is dismissed.
