11.02.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No. M/L.214 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 2456 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Hingalganj Police Station Case No. 43 of 2022 dated 12.03.2022 under Sections 302/34 of the of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re : Chhottu Mondal ... Petitioner. Mr. Kallol Kumar Basu, Mr. Md. Jannat Ul Firdous, Mr. Rajsekhar Hota ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Sandip Chakraborty, Ms. Dhanasree Biswas ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that initially the petitioner was granted bail by the sessions court, but as the same was obtained by suppression, the same was cancelled by the High Court. Thereafter, the petitioner is detained in custody for about 160 days. 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 one of the witnesses who has lastly seen the present petitioner along with the post mortem report. The case was initially commenced against unknown miscreants. I have considered the oral circumstances of the case, the period of detention of the petitioner and I am of the view 2 that since there are no antecedents of the present petitioner and the petitioner having been in custody for a substantial period of time, further detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Chhottu Mondal shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Basirhat. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date so fixed by the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of North 24- Parganas without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. The petitioner shall also meet with the Inspector-in- Charge, Hingalganj Police Station once a week till the framing of the charges. The application for bail, being CRM (M) 2456 of 2025, 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.)
