IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.30 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (M) 1685 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 read with Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Kenda Police Station Case No. 36 of 2024 dated 21.05.2024 under Sections 498A/302/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 read with Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

And In Re : Sanket Goswami @ Sankit Goswami ... Petitioner.

Mr. Pawan Kumar Gupta, Mr. Sougata Mitra, Ms. Sofia Nesar, Mr. Santanu Sett, Mr. Nikhil Gupta, Ms. Soma Chakraborty, Mr. Subhadeep Maitra ... For the Petitioner.

Ms. Shaila Afrin, Mr. Sharequl Haque ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and is in custody for more than 510 days. Learned advocate submits that the investigation of the case has already been concluded and charge-sheet has been submitted against the accused persons who are in-laws. So far as the other in-laws are concerned, they have been released on bail. As such, the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent condition.

Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail.

I have considered the materials in the case diary and having regard to the stage of the case particularly that date has been fixed for evidence, I am of the opinion that at this stage, it would not be fit and proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

The application for bail, being CRM (M) 1685 of 2025, is, thus, dismissed.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

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