Karto Birjarjun Makal @ Karto Makal v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

28.07.2025 Sl. No.56 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M. (A) 2331 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Bishnupur P.S. Case No.239 of 2023 dated 01.04.2023 under Section 376(2)(f)(n) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections6/12 of POCSO Act, 2012.

And In the matter of : Karto Birjarjun Makal @ Karto Makal ... petitioner Mr. Dipankar Aditya, Mr. Prosanta Kumar Das, Ms. Aishwarya Priya Raha.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Avishek Sinha, Ms. Rajashree Tah.

...for the State.

Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

No one appears on behalf of the de facto complainant. Heard the learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. Perused the case diary.

Considering the incriminating materials available in the case diary including the statement of the minor victim and the statement of independent witnesses as also the fact that the petitioner has been absconding since 2years and 4months, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. (A) 2331 of 2025 is, thus, rejected.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
