32 22.09.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (M) 514 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Beldanga Police Station Case No.304 of 2022 dated 26.05.2022 under Sections 498A/302 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re : Khoda Box @ Khoda Bod Sk. ... Petitioner. Mr. Sourat Nandy ... for the petitioner. Mr. Anand Keshari Mr. Kaushik Kundu Ms. Debadrita Mondal ... for the State. Heard learned counsels for the parties. The petitioner is in custody for more than 3 years and prays for bail. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. Allegation against the petitioner is that he murdered two of his children. He was arrested from Mumbai. There is sufficient material implicating the petitioner in the alleged offence. The deceased children used to reside with the petitioner. The petitioner owes an explanation with regard to the circumstances which led to the incident, under Section 106 of the Indian Evidence Act. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment. Considering the gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. The application for bail is thus disposed of. 2 Case diary be returned. All parties shall act on the server copy 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.)
