September 24, 2025 1 ARDR (Allowed) In the High Court at Calcutta Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri CRM (M) 277 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with NJP GRPS Case No. 59 of 2025 dated 21/7/2025 under Sections 143(3)/3(5)/61 of BNS, 2023. And In Re : Virendra Pratap Singh & anr. ... Petitioners. Sr. Adv. Sandipan Ganguly, Adv. Karan Dudhwewala, Adv. Biprajit Das, ... for the petitioners. Adv. Kallal Acharya (through VC), Adv. Kallal Nag, ... for the State. The petitioners are in custody for more than sixty days and pray for bail. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. The first petitioner is the project head of Durg Education and Charitable Society and the second petitioner is the quality control officer of the said concern. Though the allegations in the complaint are serious, the victims have not implicated the petitioners in their statements under Section 183 of the BNSS. No prima facie role of the petitioners transpires from the material on record. Considering the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged offence, this Court is of the view that further detention of the petitioners is not required and they may be released on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail is allowed. 2 The petitioners namely Virendra Pratap Singh and Manoj Kumar be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jalpaiguri, subject to the condition that they shall remain within the jurisdiction of learned trial Court and shall report to the Investigating officer of the case once a week till submission of charge sheet. They shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioners fail to comply with any of the conditions stated hereinabove, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is disposed of. 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.)
