Hasanur Jaman Sk @ Hasan v. State Of West Bengal

07.07.2022 sdas rejected C.R.M.(DB) No. 2154 of 2022 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Kaliganj Police Station Case No. 525 of 2020 dated 15.10.2020 under Sections 498A/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

And In Re : Hasanur Jaman Sk @ Hasan ..... petitioner Mr. Prabir Majumder ... for the petitioner Ms. Faria Hossain Mr. Anand Keshari ... for the State Learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner prays for bail. He submits that his client is in custody for 597 days. Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner and co-accused set fire on the housewife. Trial is in progress.

Having considered the materials on record prima facie disclosing involvement of the petitioner in setting fire on his wife and as trial is in progress, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected. We direct the trial court to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
