29.01.2026 Serial no. 32 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 2917 of 2025 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with GR Case No. 4751 of 2025 arising out of Liluah PS Case No. 458 of 2025 dt. 29.08.2025 u/s 103(1)/238(A) of the BNS, 2023.

-AndIn the matter of : Amit Roy Choudhury ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Sandip Chakraborty Mr. Kaustav Das ... for the Petitioner(s) Md. Adil Badr, Jr. Govt. Adv.

Mr. Pratick Bose ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than five months and has been implicated on the facts of stabbing one of his friends while all of them were under the influence of liquor. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the eye-witnesses under section 183 of the BNSS.

I have taken into account the veracity of the contents of such statement and also assessed regarding the other attending circumstances as well as the materials recovered by the police authorities.

Learned advocate for the State has also taken up the issue that the petitioner happens to be a 'Law Clerk' and would be in a position to influence the witnesses. Be that as it may, having considered the period of detention, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Amit Roy Choudhury 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 CJM, Howrah.

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 Howrah without prior intimation to the learned trial court. Further, the petitioner also shall not enter into the jurisdiction of Liluah Police Station without prior permission of the learned trial court.

Accordingly, CRM(M) 2917 of 2025 is allowed.

Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
