Amlan Goswami v. State Of West Bengal And ANR
16.02.2026 Serial no. 251 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 2521 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 Special Case No. 157 of 2024 having arisen out of Eco Park Police Station Case No. 219/2024 dated 03.10.2024 u/s 3/4/5/7 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 read with Sections 12/17 of the POCSO Act, and adding Sections 143(1)(2)(5)/61(1)(a)(2)(a)/318(2)/3(5)of the BNS, 2023 . -AndIn the matter of : Amlan Goswami ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Dattatreya Dutta Mr. Dibakar Sardar ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Bitosok Banerjee Ms. Eshita Dutta ... for the State-respondent(s) Mr. Quazi Ezaz Ahmed Mr. Ayan Bhattacharyya ... for the defacto-complainant(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for almost seven months and is similarly placed with the other accused persons who have been granted bail.
Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the present petitioner is not similarly situated as the other accused persons who have been granted bail. According to the learned advocate, it is the petitioner who was involved in trafficking the girls from Assam to Eco Park, West Bengal.
Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant is present.
Having considered the complicity of the present petitioner in the alleged offence, I am of the view that this is not a fit case for enlarging the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected.
However, the learned trial court would monitor the case and see to that there is progress in the case. Accordingly, CRM(M) 2521 of 2025 is dismissed. 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.
