Reject C.R.M. (M) 639 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, in connection with Raninagar Police Station Case No. 538 of 2024 dated 05.09.2024.

And In Re :

Najrul Islam @ Najrul Sk.

... Petitioner Mr. Tapodip Gupta ... for the Petitioner Ms. Sujata Das Mr. Manoranjan Mahata ... for the State Report submitted by the State is taken on record. The victim lady is not represented despite service. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the elder brother in law of the victim lady and is in custody for more than 130 days. He has been falsely implicated. The FIR was lodged at a delay of twenty six days. He prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. The reasons for delay in lodging the FIR shall be assessed at the appropriate state of the trial. The petitioner appears to be the principal accused who allegedly ravished the victim lady. Charge sheet has been submitted. Vulnerable witnesses are yet to be examined. Considering the material on record and

prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the alleged offence, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. 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.
