04.11.2025

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.13 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (M) 2038 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Dhantala Police Station Case No. 797 of 2024 dated 28.11.2024 under Section 70(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In Re : Debopriyo Mondal @ Kitu Mandal ... Petitioner.

Mr. Soubhik Mitter, Mr. Sumanta Das ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Saibal Bapuli, APP, Mr. Santanu Deb Roy ... For the State.

Mr. Mitter, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about a year and the investigation has already been concluded, charge-sheet has been submitted, case has been committed and the evidence has already commenced. Learned advocate submits that since the evidence of the victim is over, at this stage, no useful purpose will be served by keeping the accused further in custody.

Learned advocate appearing for the State has opposed the prayer for bail and drawn the attention of the Court to the materials appearing in the case diary as also the earlier order passed by the coordinate Bench.

Having considered the materials appearing in the case diary and the complicity of the petitioner, I am not inclined

to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

The application for bail, being CRM (M) 2038 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.
