08.04.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 36. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (M) 439 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Basanti Police Station Case No. 302 of 2020 dated 31.05.2020 under Section 363/365/376(3)/376DA of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 6 of POCSO Act. And In the matter of : Firoj Molla @ Feroj Molla ……Petitioner. Mr. Joy Chakraborty Mr. Sandip Dinda ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Imran Ali Mr. Amanul Islam ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner draws the attention of the Court to the order dated 3rd February, 2026 in CRM (M) 2050 of 2025 and submits that the petitioner is similarly placed as the other accused who has been granted bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail but is unable to refute that the petitioner is not on a different footing than the accused who has been granted bail. In view of the petitioner being in custody for 5 years and 8 months, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. 2 Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Firoj Molla @ Feroj Molla shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each. One of whom must be local to the satisfaction of Learned Judge, Special Court under POCSO Act at Alipore, 24 Parganas South. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of 24 Parganas South without the prior permission of the Learned Special Court. Additionally, petitioner shall not enter the jurisdiction of Basanti Police Station without prior permission of the Inspector-in-Charge, Basanti Police Station. Thus, CRM (M) 439 of 2026 is allowed. 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.)
