Satya Kamat @ Satte Kamat v. State Of West Bengal

12-06-2024 (ct. no.28) KOLE CRM (DB) 1385 of 2024 In re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Chitpur Police Station Case No. 23 of 2024 dated 02.02.2024 under Sections 304/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

- A n d - In the matter of : Satya Kamat @ Satte Kamat .... Petitioner.

Mr. Navanil De, Mr. S. Majumder, ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. B. K. Panda, Mr. Ivan Roy, ... For the State.

The charge against the petitioner is of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. It appears that the victim was beaten up mercilessly. From the post mortem report we find that there were at least 21 injury marks on various parts of the victim's body. From the material in the case diary, we find that there are two witness statements recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Those two persons identified the petitioner in T. I. parade.

The petitioner says that he is in custody for 131 days. Charge sheet has been submitted upon completion of investigation. His further detention is not necessary.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. On an overall consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, the gravity of the offence and the prima facie

incriminating material against the petitioner, we are not inclined to allow this application for bail at this stage. CRM (DB) 1385 of 2024 is, thus, dismissed.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. ( Apurba Sinha Ray, J. ) ( Arijit Banerjee, J. )
