Allowed
Procedure, 1973/ under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha
Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Coke Oven Police Station Case
No.69 of 2018 dated 07.05.2018 under Sections
341/326/307/382/506/302/120B of the Indian Penal Code along with
Sections 25(1B)(a)/27 of the Arms Act;
Dipak Kumar Show @ Dipak Kumar Shaw @
Dipak Kr. Shaw @ Dipak Kr. Show
Versus
The State of West Bengal
Mr. Debapriya Samanta
Mr. Akash Kumar Chakraborty
Mr. Suhotro Palit
Mr. Raktim Siddhanta
Ms. Tiyasa Singha Ray
Mr. Sabyasachi Howlader.
…for the petitioner.
Ms. Subhasree Patel
Ms. Rajashree Tah.
…for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits
that the petitioner is in custody since 10th August, 2018 and till
date only one witness has been examined out of 15 witnesses cited
by the prosecution.
Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail
but is unable to refute the submission that for the last 7 years 7
months only one witness till date has been examined.
Having regard to the time period for which the petitioner
is in custody and there is no possibility or interest of the
prosecution in taking the trial to its logical conclusion, I am of the
2
opinion that further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. As
such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. The petitioner,
namely, Dipak Kumar Show @ Dipak Kumar Shaw @ Dipak Kr.
Shaw @ Dipak Kr. Show shall be released on bail upon furnishing
bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two
sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the
satisfaction of the learned trial court. If on bail, the petitioner shall
be physically present on each and every date fixed before the
learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Paschim
Bardhaman without prior permission of the learned trial court.
Accordingly, CRM(M) 134 of 2026 is allowed.
Report submitted by the State be kept with the record.
Learned Registrar General, High Court, Calcutta is
directed to communicate this order to the ADG, CID, West Bengal
for consideration of taking steps if it appeals and the pathetic state
of affairs in which the trials are progressing in the districts.
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.
