D/L269 28.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 1545 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Bhagwanpur Police Station Case No.87 of 2026 dated 17.02.2026 under Sections 85/103(1)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 3/ 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961; Saikat Mondal Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Soubhik Mitter Mr. Karan Bapuli. ...for the petitioner. Mr. Goutam Dey Mr. Arindam Banerjee. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the husband who has been implicated in the present case and is in custody for 5 months. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail as according to the prosecution case, there were demands of dowry along with mental and physical torture being inflicted upon the deceased which compelled the deceased to terminate her life. I have taken into account the postmortem report and its findings. Having considered the same and that the prosecution has relied upon 17 witnesses in order to prove its case which would take some time, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. 2 Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Saikat Mondal shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Contai, Purba Medinipur. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Purba Medinipur without prior permission of the learned trial court. Thus, CRM(M)1545 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
