Mudassir Reja v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

16.12.2025 Court No.35.

D/L. 38.

Kausik (Rejected) CRM (M) 2565 of 2025 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Raninagar Police Station Case No. 629 of 2025 dated 26.09.2025 under Section 140(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, adding Section 64(1) of the BNS, 2023;

And In the matter of : Mudassir Reja ......Petitioner.

Mr. Md. Golam Nure Imrohi Mr. Partha Pratim Sinha ......for the Petitioner.

Ms. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee Mr. Manas Das ....for the Defacto-Complainant./OP No. 2.

Mr. Anupam Das Adhikary Ms. Sana Naaz ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been arrested in connection with the instant case and is in custody for the last 53 days. There are hardly any materials to connect the petitioner with the crime and as such he may be released on bail.

Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, produces the case diary including the statement of the victim under Section 164 Cr.P.C.

I find that the case was initiated under Section 140(3), BNS along with other accusations of sexual assault. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant is present and opposes the prayer for bail. Learned advocate also submits that two accused persons are absconding.

The learned Magistrate is directed to exhaust the process of law and if required split up the trial of the case and commit the case to the Court of Sessions.

At this stage, the prayer for bail in CRM (M) 2565 of 2025 is dismissed.

Petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the examination of the victim is over.

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.
