Sahil Dhan v. The State ( Andaman And Nicobar Islands )

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

[ CIRCUIT BENCH AT PORT BLAIR ] *** CRM/4/2026 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 filed on 06.02.2026 in connection with F.I.R. No. 47 of 2025 dated 15.10.2025, PS Humfrygunj under Sections 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, currently pending before the Court of the Learned Sessions Judge at Port Blair being Sessions Case No. 01 of 2026.

And In the matter of Sahil Dhan Vs The State (Andaman and Nicobar Islands) Mr. R. Pradeep ... for the petitioner Mr. Sumit Kumar Karmakar ... for the State February 09, 2026 [AKB] Item No.4 The Learned Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is in custody for about 120 days and investigation is complete. There is no need for further detention of the present petitioner.

The Learned Counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail vehemently. According to him, there are serious allegations against the present petitioner. Moreover, the victim was murdered in most inhumane and cruel manner. His bail prayer should be rejected.

I have gone through the materials on record including CD. It appears that the charge sheet has been submitted on completion of the investigation. There is no need for further detention of the present petitioner since the State did not pray

for custodial trial of the present petitioner. Accordingly, the bail prayer is allowed.

The petitioner may find bail of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of Rs. 5,000/- each out of which one must be local subject to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Port Blair and he shall remain within the jurisdiction of Rangat Police Station excepting for the purpose of attending court proceedings and shall meet the I/C, Rangat P.S. once in a week until further order and shall not intimidate, influence any of the witnesses in connection with this case. In default of any one of the conditions, the bail shall stand cancel without any further reference to this Court.

Accordingly, CRM/4/2026 is thus disposed of.
