Rakib (Allowed) CRM (M) 1052 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 Bagdah Police Station case no. 1057 of 2024 dated 08.11.2024 under Sections 319(2)/318(4)/336(2)/341(2)/339/61(2)/338/317(4)/317(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of : Arindam Biswas ……Petitioner. Mr. Ranadeb Sengupta Mr. Sachit Talukdar Mr. Soumyadip Maity .....for the Petitioner. Mr. Amartya Ghosh ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for one year nine months, charges have been framed and 12 witnesses have already been examined out of 52 witnesses. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and emphasizes on the fact that petitioner was the Relationship Manager of Axis Bank and 41 accounts have been opened without verification. However, on a specific query from this Court, learned advocate for the State submits that no proceeds of crime has been transmitted to the account of the present petitioner as is reflected from the Case Diary and the report of the Officer-in-Charge. There is case of dereliction of duty of the present petitioner. 2 Having considered the fact that the petitioner is already in custody for one year nine months and some more time will be required to take the trial to its logical conclusion, I am of the opinion that as report do not reflect that the petitioner has been beneficiary of proceeds of crime, petitioner be released on bail at this stage. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, the petitioner, namely, Arindam Biswas 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bongaon, North 24 Parganas. 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 North 24 Parganas without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Thus, CRM (M) No. 1052 of 2026 is allowed. Report 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.)
