Rajendra Sarkar v. State of West Bengal and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
This Court examined a bail application. An irregularity was noticed where a witness statement was found in the case diary after the charge-sheet was filed but absent from police records. The Court ordered a police enquiry into this anomaly and excluded the statement from consideration due to lack of corroborative material, ultimately rejecting the bail plea.
What did the court decide?
Bail application rejected; police directed to appoint a superior officer to enquire into the irregular entry of a witness statement in the case diary.
