Md. Hafiz Ali … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, ld. APP Ms. Shalini Bairagi … for the State-respondent(s) Mr. Mukherjee, learned Senior Advocate, appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in custody for more than nine and half months and charge- sheet has already been submitted. Learned Senior Advocate also submits that there is no possibility of the trial being concluded within a reasonable period of time, as till date charges have not been framed. Learned advocate for the State submits that the case has already been committed to the Court of Sessions. I have taken into account the nature of the seizure. However, so far as the petitioner no.3 is concerned, he has an additional case under the Arms Act since arms were recovered from his possession. 2 Having considered the same, the prayer for bail of the petitioner no.3 [Mithun Khalifa @ Mosaraf Khalifa] is Rejected. However, so far as the petitioner nos. 1 and 2 are concerned, I find from the records that the prosecution has relied upon 18 witnesses in the first charge-sheet. In view of the aforesaid, I direct the learned court in seisin of the case to expedite the process of consideration of charges. Let the same be completed as early as possible preferably by 30th September, 2026. The learned trial court would, thereafter, within the next three months would give priority to the independent seizure list witnesses who were present at the time of seizure of the FICN. After the evidence of such seizure list witnesses is over, the learned trial court on an application for bail will leniently consider the prayer for bail, if there is no possibility of the trial concluding within the next six months thereafter. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner nos. 1 and 2 is also rejected. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (M) 833 of 2026 is disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. The learned trial court would adhere to the directions passed above. 3 Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
