D/L54 27.03.2026 Bpg. Disposed of. C.R.M. (M) 364 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Frezarganj Coastal Police Station Case No.72 of 2024 dated 21.07.2024 under Sections 137(2)/140(3) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and POCSO Act 6(1); Suman Jana Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Md. Aslam Khan. ….for the petitioner. Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya Ms. Suruchi Saha. …for the State. Leave is granted to the petitioner to amend the cause title. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about 19 months and till date only evidence of one witness is complete and the evidence of second witness is in progress. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. as well as the medico legal examination of the victim. Learned advocate for the petitioner thereafter emphasizes that presently the presiding officer of the court is on leave. Having considered the nature of the offence and the period of detention, I direct the learned trial court to release the petitioner on bail after the evidence of the victim is over. 2 With the aforesaid observations, CRM(M)364 of 2026 is disposed of. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
