Trinath Rao @ Chanti @ D. Trinath … Petitioner(s) Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati Ms. Swastika Choudhury Ms. Itika Nag Mr. Avijit Chatterjee … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Soumak Bera Mr. Dipayan Dan … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for two years ten months and out of the 15 witnesses cited in the charge-sheet, till date, not a single witness has been examined. Therefore, learned advocate prays that the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent conditions. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the court to the postmortem report which reflects manual strangulation to death and the place of occurrence is the bed room of the matrimonial home. 2 Having considered the overall circumstances, I am of not inclined to enlarge the petitioner being the husband on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. However, considering the period of detention of the present petitioner, one year time is granted to the prosecution to complete all the witnesses. The petitioner will renew his prayer for bail after the aforesaid time period is over. The learned trial court would release the petitioner on bail provided, the evidence of the witnesses is not completed inspite of cooperation extended by the accused persons. Accordingly, CRM (M) 1818 of 2026 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. 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.) 3
