24.07.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.273 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 1499 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Rajapur Police Station Case No. 220 of 2025 dated 17.07.2025 under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/118(2)/ 109/351(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In Re : Subho Hazra ... Petitioner. Mr. Arindam Jana, Mr. Yuvraj Chatterjee, Mr. Saikat Guin, Mr. Suvendu Bikash Paul ... For the Petitioner. Dr. Pradip Banerjee, APP, Ms. Nayana Mukhopadhyay ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than five months; charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court and petitioner was implicated because he was present at the place of occurrence, although the vital blow was inflicted by a separate accused. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the injury report as well as the statement of the injured. It reflects from the statement of the injured that vital blow was inflicted by a different person, although the petitioner’s act was an overt act of withholding the injured from resisting. Having regard to the overall facts and the 2 charge-sheet having been submitted, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Subho Hazra shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Uluberia. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Howrah without prior permission of the learned Court. Additionally, the petitioner shall not enter into the jurisdiction of Rajapur Police Station for a period of six months. It would be discretion of the jurisdictional court to decide whether to waive the condition or extend the condition. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 1499 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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.)
