D/L292 01.09.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (M) 1702 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kulpi Police Station Case No.445 of 2024 dated 08.12.2024 under Section 103(2)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Taimur Naiya Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Chitta Ranjan Chakraborty Mr. Sumit Banerjee. ...for the petitioner. Mr. Aditya Tiwari Mr. Shreyash Kumar Singh. …for the State. Mr. Debabrata Acharyya Mr. Sital Samanta. …for the de facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 1 year 7 months and till date out of 42 witnesses only 2 witnesses have been examined. Learned advocate for the de facto complainant opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the present petitioner is one of the person who has inflicted blows with sharp cutting weapon. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of one of the eyewitnesses under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. 2 I have taken into account the background of the case where the deceased in a preplanned manner went for offering prayer, the accused persons attacked him by hurling bomb and thereafter striking him with sharp weapon. Having considered the overall materials appearing in the case diary particularly the complicity of the present petitioner which has been narrated by one of the eyewitnesses, I am of the opinion that the provisions of Article 21 of the Constitution of India at this stage considering the gravity of the offence cannot be invoked. Consequently, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM(M)1702 of 2026 is dismissed at this stage. 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.)
