46.

Ct.No.28 as (Rejected) C.R.M. (DB) 3782 of 2022 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Panchasayar P.S. Case No. 20 of 2020 dated 17.03.2020 under Sections 120B/302/324/34/312 of the Indian Penal Code. In the matter of : Jayanta Chakraborty @ Mona. ... Petitioner.

Mr. Brajesh Jha, Mr. Kailash Tamoli, Mr. Abhijit Saha.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, ld. P.P., Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, ld. A.P.P., Mrs. Sonali Das.

...for the State.

Petitioner renews his prayer for bail. He is in custody for more than two years.

Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the prayer for bail. It is further submitted that petitioner is not co-operating in the trial of the case.

This, however, is disputed by the learned Advocate for the petitioner.

We have considered the materials on record. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier on merits. Trial is in progress.

Under such circumstances and in view of the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

Trial court is requested to conduct the trial with utmost expedition and conclude the same at an early date without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.

Parties shall co-operate with the trial court in that regard. (Partha Sarathi Sen,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
