Majharul Alam

Versus

The State of West Bengal Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Ms. Madhurai Sinha Ms. Upasana Banerjee.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Anupam Dasadhikari Ms. Sima Biswas.

...for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was initially granted interim bail and subsequently on charge-sheet being submitted graver section being added, his bail was cancelled. It has been brought to the notice of this Court that in CRR 1269 of 2025 similarly placed accused persons approached invoking the revisional jurisdiction wherein the order of cancellation of bail for addition of graver section by the same court was set aside in connection with the present case. Petitioner submits that the same principle of interim bail granted being restored would also apply to the present petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there are materials and several other antecedents of the present petitioner.

Be that as it may, in view of the petitioner being earlier granted interim bail and similarly placed accused have been extended the benefit, I am of the opinion that further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted.

Accordingly, the prayer bail of the petitioner is allowed. The petitioner, namely, Majharul Alam shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Jhargram. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on the dates fixed by the learned court. Further, petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Jhargram without prior permission from the learned CJM, Jhargram or the learned court in seisin of the present case. Petitioner will make his contact number available to the jurisdictional police station where he would reside. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1920 of 2025 is allowed. All 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 of all requisite formalities.
