D/L263 30.07.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (M) 1580 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Nayagram Police Station Case No.66 of 2024 dated 16.05.2024 under Sections 302/201 of the Indian Penal Code; Mohan Saren Versus The State of West Bengal Mr.Sanjib Kumar Das. ...for the petitioner. Mr. Shataroop Purkayastha. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 2 years 2 months and there are hardly any materials so far as the present petitioner is concerned. In spite of the same, he is unnecessarily being dragged in custody. Learned advocate for the State submits that 16 witnesses have already been examined and the prosecution proposes to examine 29 witnesses in support of its case. Case diary has been produced. I have perused the case diary and I find that there are materials to support the prosecution case presently although the same is subject to cross-examination. Having regard to the fact of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. However, prosecution must understand that for indefinite period a person cannot be kept 2 behind the bar. Prosecution would try to exhaust the witnesses which they intend to examine in support of its case within a period of six months from the date of communication of this order. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM(M)1580 of 2026 is dismissed. 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.)
