30.06.2026 Serial no. 82 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 909 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Suri PS Case No. 702 of 2025 dated 10.12.2025 u/s 85/80(2)/108 of the BNS, 2023 and section 4 of the DP Act, GR No. 2218 of 2025.

-AndIn the matter of : Gopinath Mondal ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Saryati Datta Ms. Rajnandini Das ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, ld. APP Mr. Sankalpa Bhattacharjee ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits the petitioner is in custody for more than six months; chargesheet has already been submitted; the case has been committed to the Court of Sessions and date has been fixed for consideration of charges.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the court to the postmortem report. Learned advocate additionally submits that the marriage in this case was solemnized in the year 2024 and within a close proximity of time, the deceased had to end her life because of disputes in the matrimonial home. I have taken into account the statement of the witnesses, the number of witnesses (15) proposed to be

examined by prosecution and the time period which will be required to take the trial to its logical conclusion. Having considered the same, without commenting on the merits of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

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

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Gopinath 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 CJM, Suri, Birbhum.

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 Birbhum without prior permission of the learned trial court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 909 of 2026 is allowed.

Memo of Evidence submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.

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