13.07.2026 Serial no. 25 [G.S.D] CRM (M) 1056 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 Sagarpara PS Case No. 354 of 2022 dated 25th December, 2022 u/s 448/376AB/376(I) of the IPC, 1860 and u/s 6 of the POCSO Act, 2012 relating to Case No. C. Special 02 of 2023. -And- In the matter of : Hannan Sk … Petitioner(s) Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. Avik Ghosh … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Satarup Purkayastha Mr. Arnab Sau … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for three years six months and till date out of the 18 witnesses cited in the charge-sheet only six witnesses have been examined. Learned advocate, as such, prays that the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and produces the medicolegal examination report as well as the other materials appearing in the case diary. The evidence of the victim has also been enclosed along with the bail application. I have considered the medicolegal examination report as well as the evidence of the victim and I find that both the report and the evidence is corroborating each 2 other. As such, the primary accusations against the present petitioner have been fortified by the victim. Regard being had to the same, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1056 of 2026 is dismissed. Report submitted in respect of the service being effected upon the private opposite party 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.)
