D/L4 09.04.2026 Bpg. Dismissed C.R.M. (M) 563 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (Corresponding to Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) filed in connection with Sutahata Police Station Case No.335 of 2023 dated 13.09.2023 under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 25/27 of the Arms Act and charge-sheet submitted under Sections 395/120B of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act; Gaffar Molla Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. Shashanka Shekhar Saha. …for the petitioner. Mr. Md. Adil Badr Ms. Pritha Paul. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 2 years and 6 months. Earlier, on 25.11.2025 when this Court rejected the prayer for bail, submission was advanced on behalf of the State that the next date is fixed on 19th January, 2026 for consideration of charges. Order-sheet reflects that such order was not communicated to the learned trial court. There are materials which are appearing against the petitioner. Charges till date has not been framed. Learned advocate for the State submits that there were recoveries of sum of Rs.50,000/- along with 9 m.m. pistol. 2 Having considered the same, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail but the learned trial court would ensure that the stage of consideration of charges are over by 30th June, 2026. In view of the directions passed above, at this stage, CRM (M)563 of 2026 is dismissed. Learned advocate for the State will communicate this order to the learned trial court. Pursuant to the direction, a representative of the investigating officer is present. His further appearance before this Court is dispensed with. 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.)
