D/L3 30.07.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 1257 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Nadanghat Police Station Case No.530 of 2025 dated 26.09.2025 under Sections 103(1)/123/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Mrityunjoy Roy Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Sudipto Panda Mr. Sajal Kumar Pandit Mr. Subrata Saha Ms. Sikha Halder. ...for the petitioner. Mr. Brajesh Jha Ms. Sagnika Banerjee. …for the State. Mr. Moyukh Mukherjee. …for the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since December, 2025. Charge- sheet has already been submitted against the petitioner and another. Presently, there is no possibility of the trial progressing as a protest petition has been preferred at the behest of the de facto complainant. Learned advocate for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner is the mastermind who has administered the poison in a designed 2 manner. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the Revenue Officer as well as the person from whom sodium nitrate was purchased. State emphasizes that subsequently the FSL report reflects the recovery of sodium nitrate. I have taken into account the facts of the case which relates that poison was administered by way of cold drinks. The same cold drinks were shared by the Revenue Officer and the deceased. Having considered the same, I am of the opinion that let the proceedings continue but further detention of the present petitioner whose complicity is distinguishable from the other is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Mrityunjoy Roy 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 ACJM, Kalna, Purba Bardhaman. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned court and shall not leave the district of Purba Bardhaman without prior permission of the learned court. Thus, CRM(M)1257 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. 3 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.)
