Mr. Kallol Mondal, PP Mr. Subrata Mukherjee Mr. Mayukh Mukherjee Mr. Sanjib Das ……for the State. Learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner refers to the earlier order when there was a direction by this Court to complete 5 vital witnesses by 31.03.2026. The earlier order in CRM(M) 2027 of 2025 reflects, prosecution would rely upon 23 witnesses to prove its case. Learned Public Prosecutor reiterates that the witnesses have been reduced in this case. It has been informed by the petitioner that 3 of the witnesses till date have been examined completely and the examination-in-chief of 5 witnesses have been completed. 2 Having considered that the petitioner is in custody for 1 year and 8 months and the cross-examination of the 5 witnesses are left, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the cross-examination of the said witnesses are completed. With the aforesaid observations CRM (M) 1018 of 2026 is dismissed at this stage. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
