Ayub Ali Chowdhury @ Laltu

Versus

State of West Bengal Mr. Soumik Ganguli, Adv.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Parthapratim Das, Adv.

Ms. Manasi Roy, Adv.

...for the State.

The petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per the Rules within one month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. The petition is taken up through video conference on the basis of such undertaking.

Having considered the materials on record, the statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the report of the medication examination, we are not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

The learned trial judge shall take immediate steps with regard to initiate the process of framing of charges and take the said proceeding to its logical conclusion as expeditiously as possible but not later than six months from the date of resumption of normal functioning of the court. (Aniruddha Roy, J.) (Soumen Sen, J.)
