Rakib (Rejected) CRM (M) 2273 of 2025 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, in connection with Jagatballavpur Police Station case no. 208 of 2024 dated 20.10.2024 under Sections 137(2)/140(3)/140(1)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita along with Section 25(10(a)/27 of the Arms Act adding Sections 103(1)/238(a)/111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita .

And In the matter of : Sk. Akram @ Raja ......Petitioner.

Mr. Mayukh Mukherjee Ms. Sinthia Bala ......for the Petitioner.

Mr. Joydeep Biswas Mr. Sreetama Das ......for the State Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than one year and he has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case. Further it has been complained that the learned trial Court is lying vacant, as such there is no scope for progress of the trial. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

Having considered the peculiarity of the present situation, I direct that in case the learned trial Court is lying vacant till 31st of December, 2025, within the 2nd week of January, 2026 the learned District and Sessions Judge, Howrah, would transfer the case from the learned Sessions

Court in seisin of the present case to a Court where the Presiding Officer is available. The concerned Presiding Officer would ensure that at the earliest the stage of charges is over and would expedite the process of the trial of the case. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner being CRM (M) 2273 of 2025 is dismissed.

Liberty is granted to the learned advocate for the State to communicate this order to the learned trial Court. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
