D/L. 7.
Kausik (Partly Allowed) CRM (M) 2721 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 Suti Police Station Case No. 329 of 2025 dated 03.04.2025 under Sections 126(2)/117(2)/109/3(5) and adding Section 103(1) of BNS. And In the matter of : Asikul Sk & Ors.
......Petitioners.
Mr. Jisan Iqubal Hossain ......for the Petitioners.
Mr. Kunal Ganguly ....for the defacto complainant.
Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, Ld. APP Mr. Sunil Gupta ......for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that two of the accused persons have been granted bail in CRM (M) 1211 of 2025. Petitioners be extended the same benefit as they are in custody for more than 9 months.
Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and has produced the case diary. Attention of the Court has been drawn to the statement of 3 of the witnesses under Section 183 of the BNSS as also the post-mortem report and the statement of the victim/deceased before the Doctor. Learned advocate for the defacto complainant is present and has also opposed the prayer for bail.
I have taken into account the materials appearing against 4 accused persons, namely, Asikul Sk., Rofikul Sk., Kedarul Sk. @ Hazrat and Vodu Sk @ Sofikul Haque. Having considered the complicity of Rofikul Sk. and Vodu Sk. @ Sofikul, their prayer for bail, at this stage, is rejected. So far as the prayer for bail of petitioner no. 1, Asikul Sk. and petitioner no. 3, Kedarul Sk. @ Hazrat is concerned, their prayer for bail is allowed.
Accordingly, Petitioners, namely, (1) Asikul Sk. and (2) Kedarul Sk. @ Hazrat shall furnish 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 Learned ACJM,, Jangipur, Murshidabad.
If on bail, the petitioners shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Murshidabad without the prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Petitioners shall not enter the jurisdiction of Suti Police Station till the evidence of the vulnerable witnesses are over. It has been contended by the State that, charge sheet has been submitted on 1st July, 2025. More than a year has passed. Learned Court would exhaust the process of law, split up the trial and adhere to the schedule fixed in the BNSS for commitment of the case as in Section 232 of the BNSS it has been specifically stated that in sessions triable cases the
commitment procedure must be completed within a period of 6 weeks.
Accordingly, CRM (M) 2721 of 2025 is partly allowed. 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.
