09.05.2024 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (DB) 1475 of 2024 sl no. 55 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 Cr.P.C in connection with Kolkta Leather Complex P.S case no. 37 of 2018 dated 11.3.2018 under sections 147/148/149/302/120B IPC And In Re : Sambhu Mondal @Foring ........ petitioner Mr. G K Das ...... for the petitioner Ms. Z N Khan Ms. Manasi Roy ...... for the State

1. Petitioner is in custody for a year. He submits co-accused have been enlarged on bail. He prays for bail.

2. Learned lawyer for the State contends petitioner had absconded for five years.

3. We have considered the materials on record. This court enlarged co-accused on bail on the ground of delay. Delay was engineered due to abscondence of the petitioner. Offences, if proved, would attract mandatory life imprisonment.

4. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners on parity.

5. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
