D/L38 16.04.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (M)570 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Chanditala Police Station Case No.53 of 2026 dated 24.01.2026 under Section 64(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 6(1) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012; Petitioner Versus The State of West Bengal & Anr. Mr. Ayan Basu Mr. Sandip Kr. Mondal Mr. Sumit Routh Ms. Ritika Yadav Ms. Keya Santra. …for the petitioner. Ms. Sonali Das Ms. Poulami Bose. …for the State. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about 80 days and the investigation having been concluded, further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. I have taken into account the statement of the victim who is a three year child. Her statement before the learned Magistrate is consistent and is different from the statement of her mother. Having considered the statement of the victim, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Learned trial court would expedite the process, record the evidence of the 2 victim within a month from the date of consideration of charges and thereafter release the petitioner on bail. With the aforesaid observations, CRM(M)570 of 2026 is disposed of. 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.)
