31.10.2022 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (DB) 3845 of 2022 sl no.90 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Raygunge Police Station Case No. 458/2017 dated 4.4.2017 under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with sections 25(i)(a)/27/35 of the Arms Act And In Re : Bumba Kar ........ petitioner Mr. Asis Bhattacharyya ...... for the petitioner Mr. Swapan Banerjee Mr. Suman De ...... for the State Mr. Kaushik Chaudhury Ms. B Khatun ...... for the de facto complainant Petitioner is in custody for more than five years. He prays for bail.

Learned lawyer for the Sate opposes the prayer for bail. Learned lawyer for the de facto complainant also opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. There are materials connecting the petitioner in the murder. Trial is in progress.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
