No. 16546 of 2025 and submits that on the ground of delay, the Hon’ble Supreme Court was pleased to grant bail to the other accused, namely, Debabrata Karmakar. Learned advocate for the State submits that 14 witnesses have already been examined and the prosecution proposes to examine 40 witnesses. The petitioners are in custody for three years seven months. Having considered the period of detention of the present petitioners and the fact that the other accused 2 person [Debabrata Karmakar] has been granted bail by the Hon’ble Apex Court, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioners viz, Dipankar Patra and Mustafa Fakhruddin Dak shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Alipore. If on bail, the petitioners shall also make themselves physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of South 24 Parganas without prior permission of the learned trial court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1508 of 2026 is allowed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta.
