Kausik (Rejected) CRM (M) 781 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Ranaghat Police Station Case No. 214 of 2024 dated March 24, 2024 under Section 448/376(2)(f)/506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 6 of POCSO Act, 2012. And In the matter of : XXXX ……Petitioner. Ms. Sananda Bhattacharyya ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, Ld. APP Ms. Priti Kar Bagchi ……for the State. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for more than 2 years but till date there has been no progress of the case. Only the examination of few witnesses have been conducted and the prosecution intend to examine 15 witnesses in support of its case. Learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary, referred to the medical documents as well as the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS. Having considered the materials appearing against the present petitioner, I am of the view that, prima facie, offence 2 has been made out. The report reflects that charge was framed on 28.06.2024. Examination of two of the witnesses were in progress. Having considered the incriminating materials appearing against the petitioner, prima facie, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case for granting bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM (M) 781 of 2026 is dismissed. 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.)
