13.11.2025 Serial no. 66 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 2290 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 Trial Case No. 1(8)/2024 arising out of Amdanga Police Station Case No. 665 of 2023 dated 17.11.2023 under Sections 302/34/120B of IPC, 1860 and under Sections 3/4 of the Explosive Substance Act. -AndIn the matter of : Ali Akbar Mondal ... ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Manojit Debnath Mr. Subir Debnath Mr. Rhitam Chatterjee ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Ranabir Roy Chowdhury Ms. Sujata Das ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than two years and other accused persons have already been granted bail. Learned advocate for the State submits that the petitioner is the principal accused who hurled the bomb. However, the records of the case reflect that four witnesses have been examined out of the 22 witnesses proposed to be examined by the prosecution.

Having considered the period of detention of the petitioner and that the other accused persons are on bail, I am of the view that the petitioner may be released on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Ali Akbar Mondal shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Barasat.

If on bail, the petitioner shall meet with the Officerin-charge of Amdanga Police Station once in a fortnight until and unless the learned trial court is satisfied that his further appearance before the Officer-in-charge of Amdanga Police Station is not warranted. The petitioner shall also be physically present on each and every date of the trial so fixed by the trial court.

In case, there is any violation of the aforesaid conditions, the CJM, Barasat would be at liberty to cancel the bail without further reference to this court. Accordingly, CRM(M) 2290 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.
