Sanjit Sarkar v. The State Of West Bengal

30.7.2024 Ct. No. 6 SL No. 52 SB / Tanmoy C.R.M. (DB) 2097 of 2024 In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Dhantala P.S. Case No. 210 of 2024 dated 24.3.2024 under Sections 341/325/307 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Sanjit Sarkar Mr. Prabir Majumder Mr. Snehanshu Majumder ...for the Petitioner Mr. Rana Mukherjee Mr. M.F.A. Begg ....for the State

1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits the petitioner is in custody for 130 days. He submits the investigation is over. He prays for bail.

2. Learned counsel for the State contends the petitioner had assaulted the victim who was hospitalized for over a month.

3. We have considered the materials on record. Gravity of offence and its impact may be assessed during trial. Investigation is over. There is no chance of abscondence. Offence, even if proved, would not attract mandatory life imprisonment.

4. Under such circumstances, we are inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

5. Accordingly, we direct the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 subject to condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on each and every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

6. In the event petitioner fails to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the Trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail without any further reference to this Court.

7. The application for bail is, thus, allowed and disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By :
