Rakib CRM (R) 93 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Swarupnagar Police Station case no. 791 of 2025 dated 09.12.2025 under Sections 14A(b)/14C of the Foreigners Act and Section 12 of the Passport Act. And In the matter of : Moni Biswas & Anr. ……Petitioners. Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, Sr. Adv, Mr. Pabitra Biswas .....for the Petitioners. Mr. Ayan Basu Mr. Gautam Banerjee ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submit that petitioners were intercepted on 9th of December, 2025 and since then they are in custody, charge-sheet has been submitted on 30th of December, 2025, however, till date charges have not been framed. Petitioners pray for bail. Learned advocate appearing for the State submits that all efforts be given by the State to conclude the trial. Prosecution has relied upon 7 witnesses in order to prove its case. Accordingly, prosecution is granted one year time from the next date fixed to conclude the trial. If, even after the cooperation extended by the present petitioners the learned trial Court is unable to conclude the trial for reasons beyond its control or the lack of prosecution’s efforts, in that case, petitioners be released on bail with at least one condition 2 being imposed that the bond be furnished by a local surety by way of depositing the original Title Deed of a property. With the aforesaid observations, at this stage, prayer for bail of the petitioners is rejected. However, the learned trial Court would adhere to the observations made above. Accordingly, CRM (R) 93 of 2026 is disposed of. Memo of evidence submitted by the State 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.)
