(M) 825 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Shibdaspur Police Station Case No. 101 of 2025 dated 13.06.2025 under Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 27(7)(i) of the Arms Act, 1959. And In Re : Sk. Afjal @ Tinku @ Gullu ... Petitioner. Mr. Soumya Banerjee, Ms. Sucheta Banerjee ... For the Petitioner. Mr. P. Karan Singh ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that after the evidence has been adduced before the Trial Court, there is some advantage which enures to the benefit of the present petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that evidence of six witnesses has already been completed and two more witnesses have been proposed to be examined by the prosecution. The Memo of Evidence submitted on behalf of the State reflects that petitioner has criminal antecedents and is an accused in Naihati P.S. Case No. 446 of 2021, Naihati P.S. Case No. 139 of 2022 and Naihati P.S. Case No. 313 of 2024; two of the said cases are under the Arms Act while one is under the NDPS Act. Having considered the chequered 2 history of the petitioner and advanced stage of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 825 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.
