Learned senior advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 23.08.2024 and till date, 4 witnesses have been examined out of 18 witnesses proposed to be examined by the prosecution. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner, further time which may consume for taking the trial to its logical conclusion, no criminal antecedents have been cited so far as the present petitioner is concerned and another accused although she is a lady has been granted bail. Having considered the aforesaid circumstances and without entering the merits of the case, I 2 am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Sk. Morselim shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 2nd Court, Howrah. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date so fixed by the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Howrah without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Report submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 553 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.
