17.11.2025 Court No.35.

D/L. 11.

Kausik (Allowed) CRM (R) 143 of 2025 In Re: An Application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973/Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Egra Police Station Case No.

43/2019 dated 13.01.2019 under Sections 120B/506/411/414/419/420/424/477A/201 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 66D of the IT Act.

And In the matter of : Sk. Sharukh @ Sk. Sarukh ......Petitioner.

Mr. Milon Mukherjee, Sr. Adv.

Mr. Soumya Basu Roy Chowdhury ....for the Petitioner.

Mr. Ranadeb Sengupta ....for the State.

Petitioner was earlier granted bail by an order dated 05.02.2021 in CRM 8362 of 2019.

The petitioner was taken into custody on 12.09.2025 on the issue that an application was taken out by the Investigating Officer of the case that the present petitioner last appeared before the Investigating Officer on 25.10.2021. It has been submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State on instructions that 6 witnesses out of 22 witnesses have been examined by the prosecution. There was an earlier direction to meet with the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight which according to the learned Trial Court has been violated and as such the earlier order was cancelled.

Consequently, the present petitioner was taken into custody. The order reflects that on 12.09.2025 the present petitioner was appearing physically before the Court and from there he has been taken into custody.

Having considered that the only subject matter of consideration by the Court was for not meeting with the Investigating Officer and on an assessment of the materials available, I do not find that the present petitioner has been creating any impediment to the progress of the trial. I am of the view that the petitioner should be released on bail.

Petitioner, namely Sk. Sharukh @ Sk. Sarukh, shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (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 Judicial Magistrate, 2nd Court, Contai, Purba Medinipur. Learned Judicial Magistrate, 2nd Court, Contai, Purba Medinipur is directed to impose conditions which would subjectively satisfy the said Court.

Accordingly, CRM (R) 143 of 2025 is allowed.

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.
