24/07/2026 D/L – 288 Court No.35 S. Kundu Allowed C.R.M.(M) 1514 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023. In connection with Kaliganj P.S Case No. 413 of 2025 dated 11/05/2025 under Sections 103(1)/109/117(2)/118(2)/3(5) of the BNS. In the matter of: Ashutosh Dey …Petitioner. Mr. Sagar Saha Mr. Manjeet Saha …for the petitioner. Mr. Rajendra Banerjee Mr. Suraj Mishra …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than one year two months. Charge sheet has already been submitted. Prosecution has relied upon 16 witnesses in order to prove its case, which will consume some time. As such, the petitioner shall be released on bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the witnesses under Section 183 of the BNSS as also the post-mortem report and the inquest report. Having regard to the foundational facts of the case primarily it appears that there was scuffling followed by assault inflicted on the victim /deceased, who succumbed to the head injury which was inflicted by way of a bamboo stick. 2 Having considered that there are no antecedents of the petitioner and some time would be required to take the trial to its conclusion. As such, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 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 CJM, Krishnanagar, Nadia. 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 Nadia without the prior permission of the learned Court. Additionally, the petitioner shall not enter the jurisdiction of Kaliganj Police Station till the evidence of vulnerable witnesses are over. The petitioner would inform the local police station where he would be residing and for a period of six months meet any Officer assigned by the Officer-in-Charge of the said police station and acknowledgment be submitted to the jurisdictional Court on each and every date relating to the attendance. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1514 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.)
