D/L.45.

Rakib (rejected) CRM (M) 45 of 2026 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 Kharagpur Police Station case no. 961 of 2025 dated 29.10.2025 under Sections 44/64(2)(m)/69/351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and read with Section 6/12 of the POCSO Act, 2012. And In the matter of : M. Deepak Narayan ......Petitioner.

Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra Mr. Madhurai Sinha Ms. Upasana Banerjee ......for the Petitioner.

Mr. Md. Anawar Hossain Ms. Rita Dutta ......for the State.

Mr. Kunal Ganguly .....for the de-facto complainant.

Affidavit-of-service filed by the petitioner be kept with the record.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for about 55 days and the charge-sheet having been submitted, petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent conditions.

Learned advocate for the de-facto complainant is present. Learned advocate for the State has produced the Case Diary. I have taken into account the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS. At this stage, I am not inclined to accede to the prayer for bail of the petitioner, as such the same is rejected.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM (M) 45 of 2026 is dismissed.

Petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of the victim under Section 35 of the Indian Evidence Act. Learned Special Court would give priority for fixing the date of evidence preferably within a period of 45 days from the date of consideration of the charges.

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.
