-AndIn the matter of : Dasarath Ray @ Dasarath Roy ... Petitioner(s) Mr. P. Biswas ... for the Petitioner(s) Ms. Arushi Rathore ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 26th February, 2024 since then he is in custody; charges have been framed and one witness has already been examined. Learned advocate added that the prosecution intends to examine eight witnesses as has been cited in the charge-sheet.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner and the prescribed punishment under the relevant provisions of law which is for a fixed period of imprisonment/term imprisonment.

Having considered the same, without entering into the merits of the case, only on the ground of period of detention, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

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

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Dasarath Ray @ Dasarath Roy 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, Basirhat.

If on bail, the petitioner shall make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the Sub-Division of Basirhat without prior intimation to the learned Magistrate. If on bail, the petitioner shall also once in a week meet with the Officer-in-charge of the local police station where he would be residing until and unless modified by the learned ACJM, Basirhat.

Accordingly, CRM (R) 48 of 2026 is allowed.

Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. 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.
