18.02.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No. M/L.269 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (M) 2652 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Keshiary Police Station Case No. 132 of 2025 dated 29.06.2025 under Sections 64(2)(m)/65(1)/351(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 6(1) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. And In Re : Badal Dolai ... Petitioner. Mr. Navanil De, Ms. Mohami Mukherjee ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharya, Mr. Subham Bhakat ... For the State. Report submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in connection with the instant case and is in custody for 233 days. Till date, charges have not yet been framed. As such, petitioner may be released on bail. 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 before the learned Magistrate as well as the medico-legal report. On an assessment of the same, I am of the view that this is not a fit case for granting bail to the petitioner. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. 2 The application for bail, being CRM (M) 2652 of 2025, is, thus, dismissed. 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.)
