23.06.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 10. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (M) 449 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Khatra Police Station Case No. 65 of 2023 dated 01.07.2023 under sections 363/365/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of : Ganesh Singh ……Petitioner. Mr. Rhiddhiman Mukherjee Mr. Arkaprabho Roy Mr. Soujanyo Pattanayak ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Suman Chakraborty ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for about 2 years and 9 months and evidence of 9 witnesses till date has been completed and the prosecution, according to the charge sheet, is required to examine 11 more witnesses. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits the memorandum of evidence. On perusal of the case diary, I find that, initially before the Judicial Magistrate, a version was presented by the victim, but subsequently, before the Doctor different narration of facts was advanced. 2 Having considered the period of detention of the present petitioner, without entering into the merits of the case, I am of the view that the petitioner may be released on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Ganesh Singh shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of Learned CJM, Bankura. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Bankura without the prior permission of the learned Special Court. Thus, CRM (M) 449 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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 with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
