Case No. 01 of 2022 dated 08.01.2022 u/s 387/395/397/120B of the IPC and 25&27 of the Arms Act. -And- In the matter of : Rishav Raj @ Rishav Kumar Raj @ Rishav Keshry @ Rawat @ Rahul Raj … Petitioner(s) Mr. Soumya Basu Roy Chowdhuri … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Debasish Roy, ld. PP Mr. Saryati Datta Mr. Santanu Talukdar … for the State-respondent(s) Supplementary Affidavit filed by the Petitioner be kept with the record. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than four years one month and similarly placed accused persons have already been granted bail. Learned advocate added that till date only seven witnesses have been examined by the prosecution out of the 40 witnesses proposed to be examined [although in the charge-sheet 69 witnesses have been cited]. Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail. 2 Be that as it may, having regard to the period of detention of the present petitioner, without entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Rishav Raj @ Rishav Kumar Raj @ Rishav Keshry @ Rawat @ Rahul Raj shall be released on bail upon furnishing 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, subject to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Alipore, South 24 Parganas. If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Kolkata Municipal Corporation without prior intimation to the learned trial court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 607 of 2026 is allowed. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
