25.07.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Allowed C.R.M. (M) 973 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Jangipur Cyber Crime P.S. Case No.

of dated 18.02.2025 under Sections 111(2)(b)/316(2)/318(2)/318(4)/319(2) of the BNS, 2023. And In Re :

Rajib Das ... Petitioner.

Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. S. Saha Mr. Zahid Abedin ... for the Petitioner.

Mr. Ranabir Roychowdhury Mr. Sujoy Sarkar ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for about 143 days and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. One Jayanta Das is the principal accused who allegedly duped the victim and siphoned huge amount of money from his account. The money was deposited in the account of Jayanta Das. Besides the statement of the co accused Jayanta Das which is a weak piece of evidence, there is no independent evidence prima facie connecting the petitioner to the alleged crime. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner has a similar criminal antecedent to his credit. He has been granted bail in the said case.

Considering the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged offence, this Court is inclined to hold that further detention of the petitioner is not required and he may be granted bail.

Accordingly, prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Rajib Das 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jangipur, Murshidabad 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.
