Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is similarly situated as other accused person namely, Prodip Kayal @ Pradip Kayal who has been granted bail in CRM (DB) 1107 of 2024. It has also been contended that petitioner is in custody for three years four months.

Learned advocate for the State has submitted memo of evidence.

I have taken into account that only two witnesses till date have been examined. The evidence of Lipika Halder is yet to be completed.

Having regard to the manner in which the trial is progressing, the trial Court also must appreciate that for indefinite period an accused cannot be kept behind the bar. There must be some progress in the trial for Courts to appreciate and satisfy itself regarding the detention of the accused. Learned trial Court is directed that within a period of next three months atleast all the witnesses who have made statement before the Judicial Magistrate be completed.

Petitioner would approach this Court after the aforesaid period is over.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM (M) 2922 of 2025 is dismissed.

Learned advocate for the State would communicate this order to the learned trial Court for taking effective steps in accordance with direction passed above.

Memo of evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record.

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.
