20.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 37. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (M) 1097 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 English Bazar Police Station Case No. 235 of 2015 dated 21.04.2015 under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal code, 1860. And In the matter of : Jodu Sk @ Nur Salam Sk ……Petitioner. Mr. Mazhar Hossain Chowdhury Ms. Sagufia Saba Yasmin Ms. Mekhola Kar ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Bankim Pal ….for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits petitioner is in custody for 4 years and 7 months and till date only one witness has been examined. Although, prosecution has relied upon 14 witnesses. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that initially petitioner absconded for a period of 6 years. Having considered that presently petitioner is in custody for 4 years and 7 months and there is no possibility of the trial being taken to its logical conclusion, I am of the opinion that petitioner should be released on bail. 2 Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Jodu Sk @ Nur Salam Sk shall furnish 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 Learned CJM, Malda. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Malda without the prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1097 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted 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.)
