23.07.2026 Court No.35. D/L.263. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (M) 1457 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Tangra Police Station case no. 280 of 2022 dated 01.10.2022 under Sections 498A/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. And In the matter of : Md. Sabbir ……Petitioner. Mr. Siddhartha Sarkar .....for the Petitioner. Mr. L. Vishal Kumar Ms. Rima Banerjee ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 01.10.2022 and since then he is in custody, petitioner is the husband. According to the petitioner till date charge has been framed but witness action has not commenced. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that delay in the present case has been contributed by the accused persons by taking out a revisional application. Be that as it may, three years nine months is long time and if witness action has not commenced, I am of the opinion that further detention of the petitioner would be un-called for, as such prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. 2 As such, the petitioner, namely, Md. Sabbir shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sealdah. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of Kolkata Municipal Corporation without prior permission of the learned Court. Additionally, petitioner shall not enter into the jurisdiction of Tangra Police Station without the leave of the learned Court/Trial Court. Thus, CRM (M) No. 1457 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
