Nizam Sekh @ Mr. Akash @ Nizam Shekh @ Nizam Sheikh v. State Of West Bengal

24.06.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Allowed C.R.M. (M) 617 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Shalimar GRPS Case No. 57 of 2024 dated 02.12.2024 under Sections 143(5) of BNS, 2023 read with Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.

And In Re :

Nizam Sekh @ Mr. Akash @ Nizam Shekh @ Nizam Sheikh ... Petitioner.

Mr. Siddhartha Sarkar Mr. P. Bhattacharyya ... for the Petitioner.

Ms. Baisali Basu Mr. Mainak Gupta ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for about 60 days and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the neighbours of the petitioner who are minors voluntarily accompanied the petitioner to his place of work due to job aspiration. The petitioner did not apply force on them in any manner whatsoever.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. The victims who were minors at the relevant time have stated in their statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure that the petitioner is their friend and they voluntarily accompanied him to his place of work in search of jobs for themselves.

Considering the material on record and extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Nizam Sekh @ Mr. Akash @ Nizam Shekh @ Nizam Sheikh be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Howrah subject to condition that he shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court. He shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court on any date without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is thus disposed of. Case Diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
