Maharaj Chalak v. State of West Bengal and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
In Re: Maharaj Chalak, CRM (M) 72 of 2025, decided 07.05.2025 by Suvra Ghosh, J. Repeat bail application under S. 483, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 arising from Garhbeta Police Station Case No. 99 of 2023 (S. 376(2)(1) IPC) concerning the alleged rape of a deaf and dumb woman who specifically implicated the petitioner; bail rejected for want of any change in circumstances; trial Court directed to expedite the trial and secure witnesses without unnecessary adjournments.
What did the court decide?
The deaf and dumb victim has specifically implicated the petitioner in the alleged crime; on merits there is no change in circumstance which warrants a favourable order for the petitioner at this stage, and accordingly the prayer for bail is rejected. ¶7
