Biplab Talukdar v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

AD 298 January 13, 2026 Ct. 28 SG CRM(M) 2925 of 2025 Reject An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Nimta P.S. Case No.356 of 2024 dated 14.11.2024 under Section 6 of the POCSO Act, 2012.

And In the matter of:

Biplab Talukdar ... petitioner Mr. Sumanta Chakraborty Ms. Dhriti Das Ms. Dhimoyee Kundu ... for the petitioner Ms. Manisha Sharma Mr. Nirupam Dhali ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a 60 year old man and he is falsely accused of sexual assault of a 9 years old girl. Actually, an attempt was being made to evict the petitioner as a tenant from the premises in question. The petitioner is in custody for about one year and two months.

Learned counsel for the State strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail, relies on the statement of the minor victim made before the learned Magistrate clearly implicating the present petitioner. She refers to some portions of the case diary in support of the prosecution case and submits that the most vulnerable witnesses are yet to be examined.

In cases like the present one, it is utmost important to ensure that the vulnerable witnesses are examined first. Considering the above and the other incriminating materials available in the case diary, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting bail.

Accordingly, the application for bail of the present petitioner is rejected at this stage.

The trial court is requested to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible by fixing shorter dates and by adhering to the provisions laid down in the Special Case in this regard.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
