In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/439 of CRPC filed in connection with Singur Police Station Case No.273 of 2024 dated 26.06.2024 under Section 394 of the Indian Penal Code and charge sheet submitted under Sections 394/395/397/412 of the Indian Penal Code;
Sk Suraj @ Raja Versus The State of West Bengal
Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Mr. Abdus Salam Ms. Debanmgana Bhattacharya. …for the petitioner.
Mr. Brajesh Jha Ms. Anushka Ghosh. …for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 2 years and till date 10 witnesses have been examined out of 21 witnesses cited by the prosecution. There were earlier rejection of this Court in the month of February, 2026 when there was a direction to complete rest of the witnesses within a period of three months.
Be that as it may, the infrastructure of the court did not permit the trial to be completed, as such, without entering into the merits of the case only on the ground of detention, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail as the petitioner was not identified by any individual in course of the investigation.
