D/L10 03.07.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (M) 2750 of 2025 In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed in connection with Kalyani Police Station Case No.121 of 2021 dated 24.07.2021 under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code; Sudipta Das Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Palash Bapari. …for the petitioner. Mr. Somnath Adhikary. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about five years and the prosecution has not been able to complete the evidence of substantial number of witnesses, as such, the petitioner prays for bail. Mr. Somnath Adhikary, learned advocate, is directed to represent the State. His appearance may be regularized by the concerned authorities. Learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary and submitted that 12 witnesses have already been examined out of 20 witnesses cited in the charge-sheet. 2 I have also considered the materials appearing in the case diary which reflect that the petitioner being a married man impersonated himself before the victim and thereafter when the victim came to know that the petitioner is a married individual, under those circumstances, the petitioner allegedly committed the incident as complained of. The post-mortem report also reflects several injuries on the person on the deceased. However, having regard to the period of detention of the present petitioner, I direct the learned trial court to complete rest of the witnesses within a period of 6 months from the date of communication of this order. Learned trial court will not further stretch time neither give any further accommodation to any of the accused. The trial of this case will proceed in spite of any resolution of the local bar. If in spite of all cooperation extended by the accused and the prosecution for reasons beyond control the court is unable to complete the trial within the aforesaid period of six months, in that case, if an application for bail is filed by the petitioner, the same shall be considered leniently by the learned trial court after the end of six months from the date of communication of this order. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM(M)2750 of 2025 is refused. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
