Rahman Mr. Aktaruzzaman … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, ld. APP Mr. Sanjib Das … for the State-respondent(s) Mr. Samrat Choudhury … for the defacto-complainant The petitioners are in custody for more than five years and similarly placed accused person has been granted bail on 10.03.2026 in a Special Leave to Appeal [Crl.] No. 18949 of 2025 by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits regarding heinousness of the offence but is unable to refute the locus of the present petitioners with that of the petitioner who has been granted bail. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant is present and submits that so far as the present petitioners are concerned, their presence may jeopardize the other vulnerable witnesses who are yet to be examined. 2 Having considered the overall circumstances of the case, on the ground of parity and delay, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioners viz, Latif Molla and Kader Molla shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Basirhat, North 24 Parganas. If on bail, the petitioners shall make themselves physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of North 24 Parganas without prior permission of the learned trial court. Additionally, the petitioners shall not enter the jurisdiction of Haroa Police Station and shall inform the address where they would be residing prior furnishing the bond. The petitioners shall also once in a fortnight meet with the Officer-in-charge or any police personnel assigned by the Officer-in-charge of the local police station and inform their address where they would be residing for a period of six months. 3 It would be the discretion of the learned trial court either to extend such condition and/or waive such condition after the period is over. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1211 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence 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.)
