-AndIn the matter of : Rentu Sk ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Dattatreya Dutta Mr. Souvik Ganguly Mr. Rabiul Islam ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Arijit Ganguly Mr. T. Dhali ... for the State-respondent(s) Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Ms. Debangana Bhattacharya ... for the Defacto-complainant Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that one Md. Lothibuddin @ Bulon Mia was granted bail by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in a Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.) No. 7191 of 2025. Subsequently, in CRM(M) 1622 of 2025 another accused was granted bail.

Learned advocate for the petitioner claims that the petitioner is similarly situated as the other accused persons who have been granted bail, as such, on any stringent condition, the petitioner may be released on bail. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant opposes the prayer for bail and submits that by suppressing

the materials facts, the other accused person obtained the order of bail from the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Learned advocate for the State submits that delay in the present case has been caused at the behest of the present petitioner and others, as such, the petitioner is not entitled to be released on bail.

I have taken into account the totality of the circumstances and the fact that the petitioner is similarly situated as the other accused persons who have been granted bail, I am of the view that further custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Rentu Sk shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees 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 ACJM, Bolpur. If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Birbhum without prior intimation to the learned trial court or the court in seisin of the case.

Accordingly, CRM(M) 2632 of 2025 is allowed.

Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of.
