(M) 1291 of 2025 In Re : An Application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure/under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Bishnupur Police Station Case No. 386 of 2023 dated 20th May, 2023 under Sections 302/201/120(B) of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 25(1B) of the Arms Act. And In Re : Pintu Molla @ Pintu Ali Molla Mr. Sandipan Ganguly Mr. Ayan Bhattacharjee Mr. Shibaji Kr. Das Safiqul Islam ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Rudradipta Nandy Sajida Sultana … For the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about 2 years and prays for bail. Despite a direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter granting bail to the co-accused to conclude trial within six months, only 10 out of 27 witnesses have been examined so far. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer and submits that necessary steps shall be taken for expeditious disposal of the case. I have considered the material on record. Witnesses have implicated the petitioner in the alleged offence. The petitioner appears to have assaulted the victim with katari. Post mortem report of the victim suggests that death was due to chop wounds and gun shot injuries. 2 The petitioner is in custody for about two years. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment. Considering the material on record and the prima facie role of the petitioner in the alleged crime, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. Learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial in the light of the direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in SLP (Criminal) no 1184 of 2024 dated 27th October, 2024 without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. The application for bail is disposed of. Case diary be returned. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
