(M) 2485 of 2025 In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Madhayamgram Police Station Case No.484 of 2024 dated 16th day of July, 2024 under Sections 96/143/98/99/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Sections 3/4/5/6/7/9 of the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act, 1956 and Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012; Biplab Haldar Versus The State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Niladri Sekhar Ghosh Ms. Labani Sikder Mr. Souvik Dey. …for the petitioner. Mr. Ranabir Roy Chowdhury Ms. Suparna Chatterjee. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is similarly situated as Rana Gope and Surya Debnath who have been granted bail. Records reflect that in Criminal Appeal no.3599 of 2025 the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its order dated August 19, 2025 was pleased to release one of the accused persons on bail. Having considered that the petitioner is similarly situated as the said accused persons, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. The petitioner, namely, Biplab Haldar shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty 2 Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge Special (POCSO Court), Barasat, North 24 Parganas. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of 24 Parganas (north) without the prior permission of the learned special court. Accordingly, CRM(M) 2485 of 2025 is allowed. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
