C.R.M. (M) 1359 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 Jhalda Police Station Case No. 38/2022 dated 14.03.2022 under Sections 120B/34/302 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Jabir Ansari @ Md. Jabir Ansari Mr. Sabir Ahmed Md. Abdur Rakib Mohahid Mehadi ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Amajit De ... For the CBI The petitioner is in custody for more than two years and seeks parity with the co-accused who have been granted bail.

Learned counsel for the CBI opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record.

The petitioner's image prima facie appears in the CC TV footages of the place of occurrence. The bike that was used for the alleged offence is registered in the name of the petitioner. He has been identified in test identification parade. He has three other criminal antecedents. He is in custody for more than two years. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment.

Considering the material on record, gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

This Court is informed that 67 witnesses have been examined in the last two years.

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.

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