D/L276 21.08.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 797 of 2026 In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to under Section 439 of the Criminal Procedure Code filed in connection with Gazole Police Station Case No.986 of 2021 dated 27.12.2021 under Sections 06 of POCSO Act; XXX Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Kazi M. Rahman. ...for the petitioner. Mr. Suman Chakraborty. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 4 years 8 months. The evidence of the victim is over. However, out of 16 witnesses cited by the prosecution till date 4 witnesses have been examined. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS as well as the medical report (which was refused). Having considered the period of detention of the petitioner and without going into the merits of the case, I am of the view that further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. As 2 such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner 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 CJM, Malda. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Malda without prior permission of the learned trial court. Thus, CRM(M)797 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. 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.)
