30.03.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 65. Kausik (Allowed) CRM (M) 473 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 Asansol North Police Station Case No. 361 of 2025 dated 24.07.2025 under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And In the matter of : Maksud Ansari ……Petitioner. Mr. Apurba Kumar Datta Ms. Sreemoyee Mukherjee ……for the Petitioner. Ms. Baisali Basu, Jr. Govt. Adv. Ms. Debjani Sahu ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner was arrested on or about 13th September, 2025 and since then he is in custody. The investigation of the case has already been completed and charge sheet has been submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and drew the attention of the Court to the post-mortem report as well as the statement of the daughter of the deceased under Section 183 of the BNSS. I have taken into account the submissions of the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties as well as the merits of the case. The genesis of the case was of trivial 2 issue. There are no criminal antecedents of the present petitioner. Prosecution intends to rely upon 25 witness in order to prove its case. As such, without entering into the merits of the case and on an overall assessment, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail on certain conditions. Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Maksud Ansari 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 CJM, Paschim Bardhaman. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Jurisdictional Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Paschim Bardhaman without the prior permission of the Learned Jurisdictional Court. Petitioner shall stay outside the jurisdiction of Asansol North Police Station till further orders of this Court and shall report to the local police station where he would reside. Petitioner will furnish his address where he would reside to the learned CJM, Paschim Bardhaman as well as the Investigating Officer of the case. Petitioner shall once in a week attend the Asansol North Police Station and obtain an acknowledgment. The Officer-in- Charge of Asansol North Police Station will submit a report once in a month to the Jurisdictional Court in seisin of the case. 3 If there is any violation of the aforesaid conditions, the Officer-in-Charge would pray for cancellation of bail of the present petitioner. In those circumstances, the jurisdictional Court would, without further reference to this Court and on hearing the affected parties, be at liberty to cancel the bail. Accordingly, CRM (M) 473 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.)
