08.04.2026 Serial no. 29 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 412 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with GR Case No. 4393 of 2025 arising out of Murshidabad Police Station Case No. 883 of 2025 dated 16.09.2025 u/s 103(1)/3(5) of the BNS. -And- In the matter of : Mahidul Sk … Petitioner(s) Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee Ms. Suchismita Chakraborty Mr. Debarnab Adhikary … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Ranadeb Sengupta Mr. Sharequl Haque … for the State-respondent(s) The petitioner is the sole accused who has been implicated in connection with the present case. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that neither there is any motive which has been expressed by the prosecution in the charge-sheet nor there are materials to substantiate that the petitioner could have been the only person who is responsible for the murder of the deceased. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and relies upon the post-mortem report. There are CCTV footages also. According to the prosecution, the materials which have been collected by the investigating agency do suggest last seen theory of the petitioner with the deceased. 2 Having regard to the stage of the case and considering the report of the expert in respect of the CCTV footages, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. The Superintendent of Police, Murshidabad Police District will communicate with the Director of Forensic Science Laboratory for expediting the receipt of the report in respect of the CCTV footages. Accordingly, CRM(M) 412 of 2026 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Report submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
