21. 24.04.2025 Court No.34. (Pritam) (Rejected) IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION CRM (DB) 783 of 2025 In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 / Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, arising out of Jagaddal Police Station Case No.389/2023 dated 17.09.2023 under Sections 365/302/201/120B/34 of the IPC, 1860. And In the matter of: - Deep Sekhar Basu @ Deep Basu. ..…petitioner. Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury, Ms. Tripti Pandey …for the petitioner. Mr. Partha Pratim Das, Ms. Sudeshna Das ….for the State. The petitioner is in custody for more than a year and prays for bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though it is the case of the prosecution that the dead body of the victim was put into a trolley bag and dumped in an abandoned place on the next day of the alleged murder, the same may not be probable since the dead body should have suffered rigor mortis in the meantime and could not have been put into the trolley bag and thereafter straightened upon dumping the same at the abandoned place. The petitioner has a fairly arguable case and prays for bail. 2 Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State refers to the statements of the petitioner’s son and the hotel owner where the petitioner and her wife took the victim. The witnesses incriminate the petitioner. I have considered the materials on record. The petitioner appears to be the principal accused who murdered the victim and dumped her body. Though the doctor was unable to give a definite opinion with regard to the cause of death in the post- mortem report, further opinion was sought and the doctor stated that death due to strangulation could not be ruled out. Considering the materials on record connecting the petitioner to the alleged offence as well as gravity of the offence, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. Learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. CRM (DB) 783 of 2025 is disposed of. Let the case diary be returned. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
