30.07.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 279. Kausik (Partly Allowed) CRM (M) 1596 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Raghunathganj PS Case No. 560 of 2025 dated 27.04.2025 under section 126(2)/117(2)/118(2)/103(1)/109(1)/3(5) of BNS, 2023 and Section 3/4 of E.S. Act. And In the matter of : Durgesh Mondal & Anr. ……Petitioners. Mr. Milon Mukherjee, Sr. Adv. Mr. Usof Ali Dewan Mr. Asif Dewan Mr. Mehedi Masud ……for the Petitioners. Mr. Mukesh Kr. Gupta ……for the State. In spite of the earlier observations made by this Court on April 2026 in CRM (M) 679 of 2026, there is slow progress of the proceedings. Learned senior advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioner no. 1 is in custody since April, 2025 and petitioner no. 2 is in custody from 1st May, 2025. There is hardly any possibility of the trial progressing in near future as the commitment till date has not taken place. As such the petitioners may be released on bail. Learned advocate for the State submits that date has been fixed for supply of copies. 2 Having considered the overall circumstances including the complicity of the present petitioners as is reflected from the statement of Dhananjoy Mondal under Section 183 of the BNSS as also the post-mortem report, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail of petitioner no. 1 namely, Durgesh Mondal and reject the prayer for bail of petitioner no. 2 namely, Suman Mondal @ Raju Mondal. Accordingly, Petitioner No. 1, namely, Durgesh Mondal shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of Learned ACJM, Jangipur. If on bail petitioner no. 1 namely Durgesh Mondal shall be physically present regularly before the jurisdictional Court and shall not leave the District of Murshidabad without prior permission of the Court. Petitioner No. 2 namely Suman Mondal @ Raju Mondal would be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail, if within a period of 3 months, the stage of charges are not overcome by the concerned Court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1596 of 2026 is partly allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted 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. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
