JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY For the Petitioner : Mr. R.S. Mazumdar, Advocate For the Opposite Party : Mrs. Nehala Sharmin, Spl. PP --- Order No.02 Dated 29th May, 2026 1. Heard Mr. R.S. Mazumdar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Spl. PP. 2. The petitioner is an accused in connection with S.T. No. 135 of 2026 arising out of Harla P.S Case No. 185 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. No. 381 of 2026. 3. It has been alleged that the husband of the informant was murdered by the petitioner and others. 4. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner that there are no eye-witnesses to the occurrence, and the petitioner was arrested from Bhubneshwar, Orissa and it is incorrect to state that on the confession of the petitioner, the dead body was recovered. It has further been submitted that so far as the weapon of assault is concerned, the same was recovered on the confession of co- accused. 5. Learned Spl.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 6. It appears that there is a strong circumstance of the dead body being recovered at the instance of the petitioner. It further appears that the petitioner has got several criminal antecedents, though in many of the cases he has already been acquitted. 7. Regard being had to the strong circumstances emanating from the above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 8. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
