The petitioner claims innocence as there is hardly any material to support the prosecution’s case. State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the court to the statement of the informant. I have taken into account the overall circumstances of the case. Having considered the same, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. 2 However, the petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of the victim is over. The learned trial court is directed to expedite the process of consideration of charges and examination/deposition of the victim preferably within a period of three months from the next date fixed. Accordingly, CRM (M) 2418 of 2026 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Memo of evidence and the report submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta.
