Bappaditya Roy v. State Of West Bengal

September 17, 2025 40 ARDR (Rejected) CRM (M) 1433 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Contai Police Station Case No. 465 of 2022 dated 18/11/2022 under Sections 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re :

Bappaditya Roy ... petitioner.

Adv. Sagnik Bhattacharya, Adv. Ruksar Parveen, ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Amita Gaur, Adv. Soumya Basu Roy Chowdhuri, ... for the State.

The petitioner is in custody for about two years and prays for bail.

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

The petitioner is the husband of the victim and appears to have stabbed her, resulting in her death. The offending weapon has been recovered at the instance of the petitioner. The witnesses have implicated him in the alleged offence. Four out of nineteen witnesses have been examined so far. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment.

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

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. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
