Ramkumar Mahato v. State Of West Bengal

20.07.2022 sdas allowed CRM(DB) No. 2390 of 2022 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Santipur Police Station Case No. 543 of 2022 dated 31.05.2022 under Sections 376/511/506 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Ramkumar Mahato ...... petitioner Ms. Sananda Bhattacharyya .....for the petitioner Mr. Debabrata Chatterjee, learned APP Mr. Santanu Chatterjee ..... for the State Learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for 50 days. It is also submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Investigation is complete.

Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Balancing the nature of accusation with the period of detention suffered by the petitioner and as investigation is complete, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly we direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a 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, Ranaghat, Nadia, on conditions that he shall not intimidate the witnesses or tamper with evidence in

any manner whatsoever and he shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is, accordingly, allowed. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
