Rakib (rejected) CRM (M) 2572 of 2025 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with STF HQ Police Station case no. 02 of 2025 dated 24.06.2025 under Sections 25(1)(a)/25(1B)(a)/25(6)/25(7)/25(8) of the Arms Act and under Section 111(2)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In the matter of : Md. Mahtab @ Md. Mahteb & Anr. ......Petitioners.

Mr. Suman Chakraborty ......for the Petitioners.

Mr. Saryati Datta Ms. Rajnandini Das ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in custody for five months and twenty days and charge-sheet has already been submitted. It has been further contended that there is no possibility of the trial commencing very soon, as such the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent conditions.

Learned advocate for the State on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail and submits that two pipe guns along with 42 ammunitions were recovered from the petitioner no.1.

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

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioners being CRM (M) 2572 of 2025 is dismissed.

Petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after the examination of seizure list witnesses are over. Learned trial Court will not grant unnecessary adjournment to any of the parties and the trial of the case would continue in spite of any resolution of the local bar. Learned advocate for the State is directed to communicate this order to the learned trial Court. 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.
