Mrinal Roy v. The State Of West Bengal

February 13, 2026 48 ARDR

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION CRM (M) 4 of 2026 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Kotwali Police Station Case No. 361 of 2025 dated 28/6/2025 under Sections 103(1)/3(5)/303(2)/317(2) of the BNS.

And In Re :

Mrinal Roy ... Petitioner Adv. Jaydeep Kanta Bhowmik, Adv. Sayantan Bhowmik, Adv. Shubham Kumar, Adv. Sayantani Das, ... for the Petitioner.

Adv. Nilay Chakraborty, Adv. Sagnik Shankar Sikder, ..for the State.

The petitioner is in custody for 736 days and prays for bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the co accused similarly circumstanced as the petitioner has been granted bail by the learned Sessions Judge. He is not named in the FIR. His further detention is not required.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record.

The petitioner has been implicated by the mother of the deceased. It is a fact that the co accused who has also been implicated by the deceased's mother has been granted bail. Learned counsel for the State is requested to take necessary steps for cancellation of the said bail in accordance with law, if required, upon perusal of the material on record.

Considering the gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the gruesome murder, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

CRM (M) 4 of 2026 is disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties, upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
