Subhasish Mondal v. The State Of West Bengal

July 15, 2025 45 ARDR CRM (M) 792 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Bishnupur Police Station Case No. 145 of 2023 dated 19/2/2023 under Sections 302/34/120B of the IPC and Sections 25(i)(a)/27 of the Arms Act.

And In Re :

Subhasish Mondal ... Petitioner.

Sr. Adv. Ayan Bhattacharjee, Adv. Rima Mondal, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Abhisekh Sinha, Adv. Parvej Anam, ...for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner seeks parity with co-accused Sukhdeb Mandal who has been granted bail by this Court earlier. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have perused the material on record.

The petitioner has been identified by PW 1, driver of the motorbike who carried the principal assailant and took him away in the motorbike after the incident. The petitioner does not appear to be similarly circumstanced with the co-accused who has been granted bail earlier.

Bail prayer of the petitioner was turned down by this Court earlier considering the material on record. The petitioner is in custody for more than two years. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment.

Considering the material on record prima facie connecting the petitioner to the alleged offence, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

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