30.03.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.98 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 (susanta) Allowed C.R.M. (M) 514 of 2026 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 Tamluk Police Station Case No. 759 of 2025 dated 22.09.2025 under Sections 310(2)/311/317(3)/238/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 read with Sections 25(1)(B)(a)/27/35 of the arms Act, 1959. And In Re : Srikanta Maji ... Petitioner. Mr. Satadru Lahiri, Mr. Avik Ghatak, Ms. Afreen Begum, ... For the Petitioner. Ms. Zareen N. Khan, Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddique, ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is similarly paced as the other accused, who has been granted bail in C.R.M. (M)128 of 2026. According to the learned advocate for the petitioner, the petitioner is in recipient of the stolen goods. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail but is unable to refute the contention of the petitioner that the accusation against him is for receiving of stolen goods. Having considered that the petitioner is in parity with the other accused, who has been granted bail by this Court, I am inclined to extend the same benefit to the present 2 petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Srikanta Maji 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purba Medinipur. 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 Purba Medinipur without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. The application for bail, being C.R.M. (M) 514 of 2026, is, thus, allowed. 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.)
