23/07/2026 D/L – 282 Court No.35 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(M) 1478 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Raghunathganj P.S Case No. 573 of 2025 dated 29/04/2025 under Sections 85/80(2)/3(5) of the BNS and Sections 3/4 of the D.P. Act. In the matter of: Md. Izaz Ahamed @ Ijaz Ahmed …Petitioner. Mr. B. R. Bhattacharyya, Sr. Adv. Mr. U.A. Dewan Mr. Asif Dewan Md. Moskhuddin …for the petitioner. Mr. Naba Kr. Das Mr. Debayan Roy Chowdhury …for the de-facto complainant. Mr. Pinaki Bhattacharyya …for the State. Learned senior advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than a year. Charge sheet has been submitted and earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected as other accused persons were absconding. The petitioner happens to be the husband of the deceased. It has been brought to the notice of the Court that subsequently other accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail but he is unable to substantiate that the case is made out for other heinous offences, except having its genesis and the report that death was due to hanging, 2 although the post-mortem report has kept the final opinion to be pending. Learned advocate for the de-facto complainant opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there are criminal antecedents of the petitioner. The victim/deceased body was exhumed and the second post-mortem was conducted in the present case pursuant to a direction passed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The incident happened almost after a year when the marriage was solemnized. So far as the present petitioner is concerned, he is completely different from other accused persons. It has been additionally submitted that an application for anticipatory bail has been preferred in respect of the accused persons, who have been granted a relief for anticipatory bail, which is pending till date. Learned advocate referred to the other case, which is Raina P.S Case No. 101 of 2025. The said case is under the provisions of Section 318(4), 316(2) and 61(2) of the BNS and is not related to any offence against the person of an individual. The petitioner is in custody for a period of more than one year. Charge sheet reflects that the prosecution has relied upon 23 witnesses. Having regard to the overall circumstances including the period of detention, I am of the view that the petitioner be released on bail. Thus, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. 3 Accordingly, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.20,000/- with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of learned ACJM, Jangipur, Murshidabad. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District Murshidabad without the prior permission of the learned Court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1478 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act on the basis of the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
