Order
08/09/2025
Learned Counsel Mr. R. Datta and Learned Counsel Mr. D. Sarkar appeared for the applicant. Learned P.P. Mr. R. Datta is present for the respondent. At this stage, Learned Counsel for the applicant submitted that as per direction of this Court by order dated 06.08.2025 the accused applicant was to surrender before the Court of Learned CJM, West Judicial District, Agartala on 29.08.2025. But on that day he could not appear and sought for accommodation which was rejected by the Learned Trial Court and thereafter warrant has been issued. The present applicant by this time has approached before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. So, Learned Counsel urged for either to extend the period of surrender or to stay the operation of the order dated 29.08.2025 passed by Learned CJM, West Judicial District, Agartala.
On the other hand, Learned P.P. strongly opposed the submission made by the Learned Counsel appearing for the applicant and submitted that nothing is mentioned by the applicant in the application that he has approached before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and as such at this stage there is no scope to entertain the application filed by the accused-applicant and furthermore according to Learned P.P. this Court earlier cancelled the bail granted to the accused-applicant and on his approach on medical ground time was granted to him for his surrender before the Learned Trial Court on 29.08.2025. But on that day the accused-applicant remained absent and even no such information was communicated to the Learned Court that he has approached before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In such a situation Learned CJM rejected his application and issued warrant of arrest against him which is still pending for disposal. So after hearing both the sides it appears that the present petitioner-applicant has failed to satisfy this Court as to what specific relief he sought for at this stage from this Court and furthermore nothing was mentioned by the applicant that he approached before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Situated thus, at this stage there is no scope to grant any relief in favour of the present petitioner-accused. Accordingly, this present I.A. stands disposed of without passing any order on merit.
