- A n d - In the matter of : Pintu Murmu @ Rocky .... Petitioner.

Mr. Wasim Akram, ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Ranabir Roy Chowdhury, Mr. Rajashree Tah, ... for the State.

Mr. Simanta Kabir, Mr. Chandan Sekh, Mr. Totan Some, Mr. Avik Pramanick, Mr. H. Zameel, .... For the defacto complainant.

Dictated by Arijit Banerjee, J:- 1.

Status report filed by the State along with copies of the depositions of witnesses already examined be kept with the records. 2.

We find that 11 prosecution witnesses have already been examined. 7 prosecution witnesses remain to be examined. The report indicates that the examination of witnesses should conclude within the next six months.

3.

The blood stained apparel was recovered from the room of the petitioner. It was sent to the forensic laboratory. The report of the laboratory is placed before us. It is to the effect that the apparel has human blood on it.

4.

Prima facie, there appears to be sufficient incriminating material against the petitioner. It cannot also be said that there is

inordinate delay in progress of the trial. 11 out of 18 charge sheet named witnesses have already been examined.

5.

In view of the aforesaid and in view of the fact that we see that the trial is likely to conclude soon after examination of witnesses is complete within six months, as indicated in the status report filed by the State, we are not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail, at this stage.

6.

CRM (DB) 3353 of 2024 is, thus, dismissed.

7.

However, if the trial is not concluded within a reasonable period after expiry of six months from date, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.

8.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. ( Apurba Sinha Ray, J. ) ( Arijit Banerjee, J. )
