20.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L.26. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (M) 1070 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Howrah Police Station case no. 143 of 2024 dated 27.04.2024 under Sections 341/324/307/302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In the matter of : Amit Chakraborty @ Bachha Bangali @ Mujauddin Islam ……Petitioner. Mr. Sk Toslim Ali .....for the Petitioner. Mr. Kalidas Saha Mr. Saswata Chatterjee ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for two years three months, the case is based on circumstantial evidence and there are no specific materials appearing against the present petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the deceased was struck with broken cement/brick. There are CCTV footages to substantiate the accusations. I have taken into account the genesis of the case wherein intoxicated persons were embroiled in a scuffle and which resulted in the incident. Having regard to the same and the facts that prosecution has relied upon 27 witnesses but till date only one witness has been examined. Without entering into the merits of the case and the fact 2 that there are no previous antecedents against the present petitioner (as nothing is reflected in the memo of evidence), I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, the petitioner, namely, Amit Chakraborty @ Bachha Bangali @ Mujauddin Islam shall be released on bail upon furnishing 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 the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Howrah. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of Howrah without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Thus, CRM (M) No. 1070 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence 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.)
