D/L56 23.02.2026 Bpg. dismissed C.R.M. (M) 205 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 read with Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with English Bazar Police Station Case No.1327 of 2024 dated 19.09.2024 under Sections 6 & 17 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 read with Section 506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and charge-sheet submitted under Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 read with Section 506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ; Adi Sarkar Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Siddhartha Sarkar. …for the petitioner. Mr. Partha Pratim Das Ms. Suruchi Saha. …for the State. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 1½ years and till date there has been no progress in the case, as such, on any stringent conditions the petitioner may be released on bail. Learned advocate for the State produces the case diary and drawn the attention of the Court to the medical report of the two victims. I have analysed the same and I am of the view that this is not a fit case for granting bail. It has also been submitted on behalf of the State that charges have been very recently framed. 2 Consequently, I direct the learned special court to expedite the process of witness action. Accordingly, CRM(M)205 of 2026 is dismissed. 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.)
