Mr. Krishan Ray Mr. Raja Das Mr. Souvik Das Mr. Anamitra Banerjee Ms. Moupia Chakraborty … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Arindam Sen Ms. Asraf Mondal … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 282 days and charges have already been framed. There are 21 witnesses in support of the prosecution’s case, as such, he prays that on any stringent condition, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the court to the post- mortem report as well as the statement of the neighbours. I have taken into account the overall circumstances, the incident which happened after 21 years of marriage as also the fact that there are 21 witnesses on whom the 2 prosecution intends to rely upon to prove its case which would consume substantial time. Having considered the same as also the fact that the case is based on circumstantial evidence, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Mustafijur Rahaman @ Mostafijur Rahaman @ Mojibur @ Mostafijur Rahaman @ Majibur 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, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Chanchal, Malda. If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned court and shall not leave the district of Malda without prior intimation to the learned court. Accordingly, CRM (M) 711 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
