16.04.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.30 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (M) 546 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Cyber Crime, Ranaghat Police Station Case No. 34 of 2025 dated 16.03.2025 under Sections 318(2)/319(2)/318(4)/338/336(3)/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, adding Sections 111(2)/111(3)(4)(6) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (G.R. Case No. 1604 of 2025). And In Re : Arabinda Biswas @ Kalu ... Petitioner. Mr. Niladri Sekhar Ghosh, Ms. Labani Sikder, Mr. Souvik Dey ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Joydeep Roy, Ms. Trina Mitra ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 21.04.2025. The accusations which have been made in the FIR and charge- sheet are not substantiated by way of material evidence and there is only oral evidence, although the sections under which the petitioner has been charged are practically relating to documentary evidence. Learned advocate appearing for the State has also expressed his dissatisfaction so far as the materials are concerned which have been collected by the investigating agency; only statements of three victims have been recorded and charge-sheet has been submitted. There are 26 victims 2 who have not been brought within the ambit of the investigation. Petitioner is in custody for more than 11 months. Having considered the basic allegation against the petitioner who collected money by way of cash from the customer service point and there is only statement of the complainant and his relative to that effect, I am of the opinion that further detention of the present petitioner in connection with the instant case is unwarranted as the investigation itself has failed to design the prosecution case in a manner which could have taken to a proper logical conclusion. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Arabinda Biswas @ Kalu 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 Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Kalyani, Nadia. 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 Nadia without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. The Superintendent of Police, Ranaghat Police District will assess regarding the case diary of the present case and will decide whether further investigation is required in this case. To that effect, learned advocate appearing for the State would communicate this order to the Superintendent of Police, Ranaghat Police District. 3 The application for bail, being CRM (M) 546 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. 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.)
