And In the matter of : Goutam Kumar Das ......Petitioner.

Mr. Kingsuk Mondal Mr. Suman Das Mr. Gopa Das ......for the Petitioner.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for 143 days and charge sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Prosecution has relied upon 12 witnesses which will take time for the trial to conclude, as such, the petitioner may be released on bail.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail, draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the witnesses as also the seizure list.

I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner and the time which will be considered for taking the trial to its logical conclusion. On an assessment of the same, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail.

Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, petitioner, namely Goutam Kumar Das, shall furnish 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 Learned CJM, Tamluk, Purba Medinipur.

If on bail, the petitioner shall reside outside the jurisdiction of Nandakumar Police Station and provide his address to the jurisdictional Police Station where he would reside. The said address be furnished prior to his release to the learned CJM, Tamluk, Purba Medinipur. Petitioner shall abide by the conditions imposed by the learned CJM, Tamluk, Purba Medinipur and/or the Trial Court in seisin of the matter. Learned Trial Court would be at liberty to impose conditions upon the petitioner so that the petitioner will be available in course of the trial.

With the aforesaid observations CRM (M) 929 of 2026 is allowed.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
