09.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.180 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 1805 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Patiram Police Station Case No. 149 of 2025 dated 05.06.2025 under Sections 126(2)/64(1)/62/ 115(2)/351(2)/49 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 1179 of 2025). And In Re : Malay Barman @ Balai and another ... Petitioners. Mr. Biswajit Manna ... For the Petitioners. Mr. Subhas Chandra Saha, Mr. Soumalya Dutta ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been described to be associates of the principal accused and they are in custody for 98 days; charge-sheet has already been submitted. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim and other witnesses. I have taken into account the complicity of the present petitioners. Although the role of the present petitioners cannot be ignored, but further custodial detention of the petitioners after the charge-sheet has been submitted is also not called for. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioners viz., 1. Malay Barman @ Balai and 2. Dinabandhu Roy shall be released on bail upon 2 furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dakshin Dinajpur at Balurghat. If on bail, the petitioners shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Dakshin Dinajpur without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Additionally, petitioners shall, till the charges are framed, stay outside the jurisdiction of Patiram Police Station. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 1805 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned 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 with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
