14.11.2025

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.24 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (M) 1944 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Dakshineswar Police Station Case No. 11 of dated 13.01.2023 under Sections 186/333/353/326/307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 25/27 of the Arms Act.

And In Re : Md. Sanu @ Sonu @ Nashim Akhtar ... Petitioner.

Mr. Debasis Kar, Ms. Paramita Mukherjee ... For the Petitioner.

Ms. Puspita Saha ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about two years ten months and two of the accused persons have already been granted bail. Till date, only 5 witnesses out of proposed 23 witnesses have been examined and there is no scope for the trial being completed in near future.

Learned advocate appearing for the State has produced the case diary.

I have considered the materials on record. As a matter of last chance, I grant four months' time to the prosecution to conclude the next ten more witnesses.

At this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

Petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after 15th March, 2026.

The application for bail, being CRM (M) 1944 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.
