Bikram Das v. State Of West Bengal

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Criminal Revisional Jurisdiction 10-04-2024 Subha Item no. 83 Ct no.34 CRR 1173 of 2024 Bikram Das -versus- The State of West Bengal Mr. Kaushik Choudhury ....for the petitioner.

Mr. Dipankar Paramanick ....for the State.

Petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 14-01-2020 passed by the learned Assistant Sessions Judge, Balurghat, Dakshin Dinajpur in connection with Sessions Case No. 192 of 2026 arising out of Hili P. S. Case No. 203 of 2015.

Record reflects that warrant of arrest was issued against the petitioner as he was not appearing in course of the evidence. Having regard to the fact that the learned advocate appearing for the petitioner undertakes that henceforth the petitioner would make himself available on each and every date of the trial, I am of the view that the petitioner should be granted an opportunity. Accordingly, the execution of warrant of arrest so issued be stayed till 30th April, 2024. If the petitioner appears and surrenders before the court, the learned trial court will allow the petitioner to continue on the same bail and bond but would impose a condition of meeting with the Inspector-in-Charge, Hili PS or any officer deputed by the Inspector-in-Charge, Hili PS once in a week for a period of six months.

However, if the petitioner do not appear on or before 30th April,

2024, the learned trial court would issue harsher process of law by adhering to Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on 1st May, 2024. With the aforesaid observations, the revisional application being CRR 1173 of 2024 is disposed of.

Pending applications, if any, are consequently disposed of. All concerned parties are to act in terms of a copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this court. [Tirthankar Ghosh, J]
