And In the matter of : Aman Singh @ Suraj Singh

……Petitioner. Ms. Debaleena Ganguly Mr. Debabrata Ganguly

.....for the Petitioner. Ms. Rajeshree Venket Kundalia Mr. Aditya Ratan Tiwary

……for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for more than three months, charge-sheet has already been submitted and charges have been framed. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail, draws the attention of the Court to the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS. I have taken into account the charges which the petitioner is facing and at the same time, I find that the expert opinion is yet to be received by the investigating agency. Having over view of whole of the circumstances, I am of the opinion that petitioner maybe released on bail. As such, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Aman Singh @ Suraj Singh 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Howrah. If on bail, petitioner shall meet with the officer-in-charge of Cyber Crime Police Station, Howrah Police Commissionerate once in a week till further orders of this Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of Howrah Police Commissionerate without prior permission of the learned Special Court. Additionally, petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court. Any violation of the aforesaid conditions will entitled the learned Special Court/trial Court to cancel the bail without further reference to this Court. Thus, CRM (M) No. 2386 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 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.
