And In the matter of : Mohammad Manjur @ Md. Manjur

……Petitioner. Mr. Bitasok Banerjee Ms. Debangana Bhattacharya

.....for the Petitioner.

Mr. Indradip Das Ms. Anindita Mukherjee

……for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that because of existing relationship petitioner has been foisted with the present criminal case, charge-sheet has already been submitted. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS which do not spell about any sexual assault at the behest of the present petitioner. Having regard to the overall circumstances and the fact that charge-sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner namely, Mohammad Manjur @ Md. Manjur shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/-

2 (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Session Judge, POCSO Court, Chandannagore, Hooghly. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of Hooghly without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (M) No. 2572 of 2026 is allowed. The observations made above are only restricted for adjudication of the bail application and should not be considered a final opinion on the merits of the case. Memo of evidence and report in respect of service submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
