21.08.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (M) 846 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Ketugram Police Station Case No.385 of 2024 dated 04.09.2024 under Section 103(1) of BNS, 2023.

And In Re : Kajal Majhi @ Kajol Majhi @ Prasenjit Majhi ... Petitioner.

Mr. Uday Sankar Chattopadhyay Ms. Sadia Parveen ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Ms. Puja Goswami ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for about 351 days. He requires continuous prolonged treatment for his medical issues and shall be provided such treatment by his father if he is released on bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. It appears that the question arose before the learned trial Court whether the petitioner was mentally unsound and incapable of defence before the learned Court. A medical board was constituted and upon consideration of the observation made by the said board, the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katwa held that it was not established that the petitioner was of unsound mind or incapable of making his defence.

On merits, it appears prima facie that the petitioner murdered his grandmother. The statement of witness

recorded in course of investigation implicates the petitioner. The offending weapon has been recovered pursuant to his leading statement.

Considering the gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

However, the Superintendent of the concerned correctional home is directed to render all possible medical assistance to the petitioner as and when required. 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.
