(NMD) IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CIRCUIT BENCH AT JALPAIGURI APPELLATE SIDE CRM (M) 131 of 2026 In Re: - An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 - And - In the matter of: - Nayan Barman ..…Petitioner. Mr. Jaydeep Kanta Bhowmik, Mr. Sayantan Bhowmik, Mr. Debi Sarkar, Ms. Jasmin Haque …for the Petitioner. Mr. Rounak Ghosh …for the defacto complainant. Mr. Avrojyoti Das, ld. APP, Mr. Gobinda Ghosh, Ms. Baishali Chakrabarty ….for the State. 1. Learned Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. There are thirty eight witnesses but only seven witnesses have been examined. There is no chance an early conclusion of the trial. He is in custody 439 days. 2. The learned Counsel for the defacto complainant and the learned Counsel for the State oppose the prayer for bail. According to them, there are sufficient incriminating evidence against the present petitioner. 2 3. I have gone through the evidence of the victim and other witnesses including the doctor who was examined as P.W. 7. It appears that the victim had made consistent statement before the concerned doctor at the time of her medical examination. She has also made consistent deposition before the learned Trial Court. The medical report, prima facie, supports the prosecution case. In view of such consistent deposition and statement of the victim I am not inclined to allow the prayer for bail at this stage. 4. The application for bail is, thus, rejected. 5. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 6. Criminal Section is directed to supply certified copies of this order to the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all necessary formalities. (Apurba Sinha Ray, J.)
