Suraj Hazra v. State Of West Bengal

16.07.2025 Item No.15 Ct.No.34 rc.

Reject C.R.M. (M) 503 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Asansol (South) Police Station Case No. 166 of 2023 dated 24.05.2023.

And In Re :

Suraj Hazra ... Petitioner Mr. Asraf Mondal Ms. Sanjana Saha Mr. Fahad Imam ... for the Petitioner Ms. Rituparna Ghosh Mr. Dattatreya Dutta ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about two years and prays for bail. Learned counsel submits that only nine out of twenty six witnesses have been examined. Trial will take some time to conclude. The petitioner has been falsely implicated. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. The alleged presence of the petitioner at the place of occurrence at the relevant time has been detected from the CDR. The booty has been recovered at the instance of the petitioner. There is sufficient material implicating the petitioner in the alleged offence. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment. Considering the gravity of the offence and

prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, 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.

The bail application is disposed of.

Case Diary is returned.

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

(Suvra Ghosh, J.)
