28.07.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.7 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 1626 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Tamluk Police Station Case No. 959 of 2024 dated 30.10.2024 under Sections 318(4)/316(2)/316(5)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and charge-sheet submitted under Sections 318(4)/317(4)/336(3)/338/339/ 340(2)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Sections 66/66B/66C/66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000. And In Re : Asriul Haque @ Asirul Haque and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Sabir Ahmed, Mr. Quazi Ezaz Ahmed, Mr. Ayan Bhattacharyya ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Kallol Mondal, Ld. PP, Mr. Moyukh Mukherjee, Mr. Gurudas Mitra, Mr. Utsav Dutta ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in custody for more than 600 days, charges have already been framed and prosecution has examined 9 witnesses out of the cited 56 witnesses. Learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioners are wanted in connection with another case at Howrah where similar offence took place. Prosecution intends to examine 30 witnesses in support of its case. It has been submitted that so far as the present petitioners are concerned, petitioner no.1 was involved in change of IP Addresses while petitioner no.2 was involved in withdrawal of amount through Debit Cards. 2 I have taken into account the complicity of the present petitioners particularly the accounts which have been earmarked against these petitioners. Without commenting on the merits of the case and considering the complicity of the present petitioners, I am inclined to release the petitioners on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioners viz., 1. Asriul Haque @ Asirul Haque and 2. Mukta Kaber Ali @ Motakabbar Ali shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purba Medinipur at Tamluk. If on bail, the petitioners shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the districts of Purba Medinipur and Howrah without prior permission of the respective Courts. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 1626 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.)
