Swaran Singh v. State Of West Bengal

April 30, 2025 31 ARDR (Rejected) CRM (M) 206 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Farakka Police Station Case No. 226 of 2022 dated 12/7/2022 under Sections 302/201/120B/392/342/347/412/506 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re :

Swaran Singh ... Petitioner.

Sr. Adv. Manjit Singh, Adv. Arkaprabha Roy, Adv. Soujanyo Pattanayak, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. R. D. Nandi, Adv. Raju Jana, ... for the State.

The petitioner is in custody for about two years and nine months and renews his prayer for bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. It appears that there were telephonic conversations between the petitioner and the victim and the petitioner requested the victim to allowA the co-accused to travel in his vehicle for a certain distance. During such travel, the victim was murdered by the coaccused. Considering the material on record suggesting prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the crime, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

Learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties, in accordance with law.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

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