C.R.M. (M) 1127 of 2025 In Re : An Application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure/under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Lalgola Police Station Case No.

1268/2024 dated 23.12.2024 under Sections 336(3)/340(2)/60/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 14 of the Foreigners Act.

And In Re : Sohail Rana @ Md. Sohel Rana Mr. Tapodip Gupta ... For the Petitioner.

Ms. Amita Gaur Ms. Rajnandini Das ... For the State The petitioner is in custody for 8 months and prays for bail.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State points out several anomalies in the applications made by the petitioner for obtaining Aadhar Card and Pan Card. I have considered the material on record. There are several discrepancies in the documents/applications filed by the petitioner with regard to his identity. The petitioner's father has been named as late Abdul Rased @ Abdur Rashid in some documents and Md. Saiful Islam in others. In view of the above, this Court is inclined to hold that in the event the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, possibility of his absconding cannot be ruled out. The prosecution proposes to examine 8 witnesses.

Prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

Learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
