May 20, 2025 47 ARDR (Allowed) CRM (DB) 1068 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Jiaganj Police Station Case No. 171 of 2023 dated 08/7/2023 under Sections 302/201/448/450/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re :

Ranjit Sardar ... Petitioner.

Adv. Tapodip Gupta, Adv. Suman Bhanja, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Faria Hossain, Adv. Nandini Chatterjee, ... for the State.

The petitioner seeks parity with the co-accused on bail and renews his prayer.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. The petitioner appears to be similarly circumstanced with the co-accused on bail insofar as his period of detention is concerned. There has also been no further progress in trial after bail prayer of the co-accused was allowed by this Court.

In view of the above, the petitioner is also entitled to the same benefit.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Ranjit Sardar be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lalbagh, Murshidabad, subject to condition that he shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing and shall not

intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court on any date without any justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is disposed of.

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.
