08.09.2026 Serial no. 19 [G.S.Das] Assistant Registrar (Court) CRM (M) 1794 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 Memari PS Cse No. 147 of 2026 dated 22.02.2026 u/s 6 of the POCSO Act [Sessions POCSO Cse No. 28 of 2026]. -And- In the matter of : Pranab Ghosh … Petitioner(s) Mr. S. Chatterjee Mr. Pintu Karar … for the Petitioner(s) Ms. Swagata Das … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 22.02.2026 and is in custody for more than six months. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. The records of the case reflect that the evidence of the victim is yet to be completed. Having considered the same, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. The petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of the victim is over. 2 The learned trial court would ensure that within a period of three months, the evidence of the victim is complete. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1794 of 2026 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Learned advocate for the State would communicate this order to the learned trial court. 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.)
