Avishek Roy @ Abhishek Roy v. State Of West Bengal

rkd 20.10.2020 Ct. No.03 C.R.M. 8164 of 2020 (Through Video Conference) In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed in connection with Jadavpur P.S. Case No. 550 of 2017 dated 30/11/2017 under Sections 376D of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 4/6 of the POCSO Act. And In the matter of: - Avishek Roy @ Abhishek Roy ....petitioner.

Mr. U. S. Chattopadhay, Mr. S. Majhi, Mr. S. Das ...for the petitioner.

Mr. N. Ahmed ...for the State.

Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the alleged penetrative sexual assault on minor students and as his prayer for bail was rejected earlier, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
