03.12.2025 Serial no. 36 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 2546 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 Berhampore Court GRPS PS Case No. 08 of 2024 dated 04.12.2024 u/s 126(2)/117(2)/103 of the BNS. -AndIn the matter of : Md. Selim @ Chinu ... Petitioner(s) Mr. J. I. Hossain ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Soumik Ganguly Mr. Pratick Bose ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than one year; the investigation of the case has already been concluded and, subsequently, charges have been framed. Learned advocate also submits that so far as the evidence has been adduced, it reflects that the petitioner is innocent of the charges.

Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that out of the 21 witnesses cited in the charge-sheet, six witnesses have already been examined and there are other vital witnesses to be examined. Additionally, it has been submitted that there are eye witnesses to the incident and the manner in which the offence has been committed do thickly connect the present petitioner.

Having regard to the stage of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

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

Accordingly, CRM(M) 2546 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.
