D/L265 30.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 1582 of 2026 In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Bhimpur Police Station Case No.140 of 2025 dated 15.05.2025 under Section 137(2)/87/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and subsequently charge-sheet submitted under Section 137(2)/87/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and read with Section 6 & 17 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 and Section 9 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006; Sujan Bag Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Amanul Islam Mr. Sourav Mukherjee Mr. Gourav Roy. ...for the petitioner. Mr. Koustav Lal Mukherjee. …for the State. Mr. Sujoy Sarkar Mr. G. Roy. …for the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 4 months. The deposition of the victim has been completed before the learned trial court. Learned advocate has produced the evidence of the victim. Learned advocate for the de facto complainant leaves it to the discretion of the Court. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and produces the case diary emphasising on the statement of the 2 victim. I have considered the deposition of the victim before the learned trial court. Having regard to the same, I am of the view that further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted in the facts of the present case. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Sujan Bag 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 Judge, Special Court, under POCSO Act, Krishnagar, Nadia. 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 Nadia without prior permission of the learned special court. Thus, CRM(M)1582 of 2026 is allowed. The deposition of the victim handed over by the learned advocate for the petitioner 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.) 3
