27.08.2026 Serial no. 257 [G.S.Das] Assistant Registrar (Court) CRM (M) 1474 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Electronic Complex P.S. Bidhanagar Case No. 216 of 2025 dated 30.10.2025 u/s 6/10 of the POCSO Act [Special Case No. 241 of 2025]. -And- In the matter of : Shanto Sardar @ Babulal Sardar … Petitioner(s) Mr. Surajit Basu Ms. Jasika Alam … for the Petitioner(s) Ms. Priti Kar Bagchi … for the State-respondent(s) Mr. A. Rakshit … for the defacto-complainant (H.C.L.S.A.) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than ten months and charge-sheet has already been submitted but there is no possibility of the witness action commencing very soon. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant is present and opposes the prayer for bail. Learned advocate also submits that the age of the victim is five years. Learned advocate for the State produces the case diary and draws the attention of the court to the statement of the victim. I have taken into account the statement of the victim as well as the medico-legal examination report. 2 Having regard to the overall circumstances, I am of the opinion that this is not a fit case for granting bail to the petitioner. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. However, the petitioner will renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of the victim is over. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1474 of 2026 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. 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.)
