07.11.2025 Serial no. 12 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 2215 of 2025 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Sessions Case No. 180 of 2024 arising out of Suti Police Station Case No. 581 of 2023 dated 27.09.2023 under Section 304 of the IPC.

-AndIn the matter of : Saidul Sk.

... ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Parthapratim Das Mr. Monajit Chakraborti ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Avishek Sinha Ms. Sima Biswas ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for one year and five months. Learned advocate also submits that although, charge-sheet has been submitted and charge has been framed but out of the 12 witnesses proposed to be examined by the prosecution, till date, none of the witnesses have been examined.

Learned advocate for the State has drawn the attention of the Court to the statements of the witnesses, particularly, the statement under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. Prima facie, there are materials appearing against the petitioner. However, the same is in an abstract form. Be that as it may, having regard to the period of detention of the present petitioner, I am of the view that

further custodial detention of the petitioner, at this stage, is unwarranted.

Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Saidul Sk. shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Jangipur.

If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Murshidabad without prior intimation to the learned trial court.

In case, there is any violation of the aforesaid conditions, the trial court would be at liberty to cancel the bail without further reference to this court. Accordingly, CRM(M) 2215 of 2025 is allowed.

Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
