CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (M) 560 of 2026
In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kalna Police Station Case No. 1453 of 2024 dated 04.12.2024 under Sections 309(b)/311/221(1)/132 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act.
And
In Re : Sukhen Halder ... Petitioner.
Ms. Sananda Bhattacharyya, Mrs. Rituparna Saha
... For the Petitioner.
Ms. Subhasree Patel, Mr. Ashraf Mondal
... For the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 24.02.2024 and since then for more than 2 years 1 month, the petitioner is in custody; till date, charges have not been framed and as such, the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent condition as there has been no recovery from him. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that petitioner was identified in the T.I. Parade. Having considered the stage of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. The petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the stage of consideration of charges is over.
2 The application for bail, being CRM (M) 560 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. 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.
