And In the matter of : Suraj Paswan

……Petitioner. Mr. Dev Kumar Sharma

.....for the Petitioner. Mr. Satya Prakash Shaw

.....for the De-facto complainant. Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, Ld. APP Mr. L. Vishal Kumar Mr. Sanjib Das

……for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submit that pursuant to the earlier direction evidence of the victim is complete. Attention of the Court is drawn to the evidence of the victim. Learned advocate appearing for the de-facto complainant do not opposes the prayer for bail. Learned advocate appearing for the State has also relied upon the evidence of the victim. There are changed circumstances which I find. Having regard to the same, I am of the view that further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. As such, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, the petitioner, namely, Suraj Paswan shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty

2 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 Judge, Special Court under POCSO Act, Howrah. 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 Howrah without prior permission of the learned Special Court. Thus, CRM (M) No. 2287 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence 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.
