Rathin Roy v. State Of West Bengal

19.06.2025 Item No.15 Ct.No.34 rc.

C.R.M. (DB) 1082 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, in connection with Murshidabad Police Station Case No. 73 of 2024 dated 01.02.2024 under Sections 302/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act. And In Re :

Rathin Roy ... Petitioner Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee Mr. Arnab Chatterjee ... for the Petitioner Ms. Shreyoshi Biswas Mr. Nirupam Dhali ....for the State Mr. Debapriya Samanta Ms. Riya Saha ...for the defacto complainant Report submitted by the State is taken on record. Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Petitioner is in custody for more than a year and renews his prayer for bail.

Learned counsels for the State and defacto complainant oppose the prayer.

I have perused the material on record.

The petitioner appears to be the principal assailant who shot the victim resulting in his death. The offending weapon has been recovered at the instance of the petitioner. Two of the co-accused are still absconding. Charges have

been framed. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment.

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

Case Diary is returned.

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