24.09.2026 Court No.35. D/L.09. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (M) 1843 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Bagwangola Police Station case no. 109 of 2026 dated 27.03.2026 under Sections 103/109/117(2)/118(2)/126(2)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of : Meherun Bibi & Anr. ……Petitioners. Mr. Debappriya Samanta Mr. Subyasachi Howlader .....for the Petitioners. Mr. Kaushik Dey Mr. Bibaswan Mukherjee ……for the State. Mr. Kiron Sk Mr. J. Sk. .......for the De-facto complainant. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submit that petitioners are in custody for about six months, there is no possibility of the trial progressing in near future. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the statement of eye- witnesses under Section 183 of the BNSS. I have taken into account the statement, the statement reflects the presence of the present petitioners and their overt acts along with other accused persons. However, the genesis of the case is land dispute, the petitioners are ladies and the nature of dispute reflects that there were differences in respect of the property, there are no criminal antecedents of the petitioners. 2 Having considered the period of detention and the aforesaid issues, I am of the opinion that petitioners be released on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioners, namely, Meherun Bibi and Rehana Bibi @ Rehana Khatun shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lalbagh, Murshidabad. 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 district of Murshidabad without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Thus, CRM (M) No. 1843 of 2026 is allowed. 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.)
