Avimannu Mandal @ Abhimanya Mondal v. State Of West Bengal
12.06.2026 Serial no. 99 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 1382 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Sessions Case No. 44 of 2025 arising out of Raghunathganj Police Station Case No. 1295 of 2024 dated 13.10.2024 u/s 329(4)/115(2)/118(1)/117(2)/118(2)/109/3(5) of the BNS, added Section 103(1) of the BNS.
-AndIn the matter of : Avimannu Mandal @ Abhimanya Mondal ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Sayan Mukherjee ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Kallol Mondal, ld. PP Ms. Shalini Bairagi ... for the State-respondent(s) Liberty is granted to learned advocate for the petitioner to amend the cause-title.
Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for one year eight months and the earlier direction of this court reflects that liberty was granted to the petitioner to approach this court after the evidence of the vulnerable witnesses is over.
Learned advocate for the petitioner also submits that presently out of 16 witnesses cited in the charge-sheet, seven witnesses have already been examined.
Mr. Mondal, learned Public Prosecutor, opposes the prayer for bail. It has been submitted that the present
petitioner along with the others mercilessly assaulted the deceased.
The attention of the court has been drawn to the post-mortem report as well as the injury report available in the case diary.
Be that as it may, having considered the period of detention of the present petitioner and the fact that some time will be required to take the trial to its logical conclusion, without entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.
Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Avimannu Mandal @ Abhimanya Mondal 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 Trial Court.
If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Murshidabad without prior permission of the learned trial court.
Additionally, after release, for a period of three months, the petitioner will once in a fortnight attend the
Raghunathganj Police Station. However, it would be the discretion of the learned trial court either to continue with such condition and/or waive such condition after expiry of the aforesaid period.
In case, if there is any violation of the aforesaid condition, the learned trial court would be at liberty to cancel the bail without further reference of this court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1382 of 2026 is allowed. 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.
