Case No.222 of 2020 dated 05.12.2020 under Sections 376D/342/506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 6 of the POCSO Act and charge sheet submitted under Sections 376D/342/506/201/34/120B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 6 of the POCSO Act.

In the matter of : Sirajul Biswas.

... Petitioner.

Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty, Mr. S. S. Saha.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, ld. A.P.P., Mrs. Sonali Das, Ms. Sreeparna Das.

...for the State.

Petitioner submits there is delay in trial. He submits inspite of direction given by this Court in CRM (DB) 2260 of 2022 to conclude trial within six months from the next date of recording evidence, trial has not concluded.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. We have considered the materials on record. After rejection of bail by this Court in July, 2022, six witnesses including the victim girl has been examined. Her deposition implicates the petitioner in the crime.

Under such circumstances and in view of gravity of offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
