SL. Case No. 28 of 2024 arising out of GR Case No. 2132 of 2023.

-AndIn the matter of : Sahadeb Mondal @ Sahadev Mondal ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Navanil De Ms. NonamiMukherjee Mr. Debarshi Mukhopadhyay ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Debajyoti Deb Mr. Neel Chakraborty ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for one year two months. Learned advocate also submits that the petitioner surrendered before the learned jurisdictional court; other accused persons have been granted bail and the petitioner is similarly situated as the accused persons who have been granted bail. According to the learned advocate, the trial of the case has commenced and till date out of the 34 witnesses, only 10 witnesses have been examined. Therefore, learned advocate prays that the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and refers to the statement of the witnesses as also the post mortem report.

I have taken into account the fact that similarly placed accused persons have been granted bail. However, the petitioner was evading the arrest initially for more than a year.

Having considered the evidence which has surfaced and nature of the materials which have been seized in connection with the instant case, I am of the view that the petitioner may be enlarged on bail.

Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Sahadeb Mondal @ Sahadev Mondal shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Lalbagh.

If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Murshidabad without prior permission of the learned trial court.

Accordingly, CRM (M) 891 of 2026 is allowed.
